Pregnancy is a journey filled with joy, anticipation—and crucial health decisions. At Curis Life, Andheri West, we support expecting mothers with advanced, compassionate care through services like the Nuchal Translucency (NT) Scan and First Trimester Screening.
Our expert radiology team performs this 12-week pregnancy scan with high-resolution imaging and sensitivity to both the clinical and emotional needs of every parent. Whether it’s assessing fetal development or screening for chromosomal abnormalities, our NT test process is safe, painless, and vital in guiding your prenatal care plan.
What is an NT Scan?
An NT Scan, or Nuchal Translucency Scan, is a specialized early pregnancy ultrasound done between week 11 and 13 of gestation. It measures the clear (translucent) space at the back of the baby’s neck—called fetal NT measurement—to assess the risk of:
- Down syndrome
- Other chromosomal abnormalities
- Congenital heart conditions
At Curis Life, we combine this scan with double marker blood tests when appropriate, giving you a holistic picture of your baby’s early development.
Why is First Trimester Screening Important?
First Trimester Screening is a vital step in prenatal genetic screening. When conducted at the right time (typically around the 12-week pregnancy mark), it helps:
- Detect early fetal abnormalities
- Assess fetal growth and wellness
- Prepare for further diagnostic decisions if needed
- Reassure parents with real-time visuals of their baby
It also improves pregnancy outcomes by enabling early detection and management strategies where required.
When Should I Get an NT Scan?
The NT scan timing is critical. It’s ideally performed:
- Between 11 weeks and 13 weeks + 6 days of pregnancy
- When the fetus measures between 45mm and 84mm (crown-rump length)
Symptoms or Reasons to Consider an NT Scan
While NT Scans are part of routine prenatal care, you may need it urgently if:
- You’re aged 35 or older
- You’ve had previous pregnancies with complications
- There’s a family history of genetic conditions
- Blood tests or initial scans show irregularities
- Your doctor recommends fetal abnormality detection
What Conditions Can the NT Scan Detect?
While the NT Scan is not a diagnostic test, it helps screen for:
- Down syndrome (Trisomy 21)
- Trisomy 18 and 13
- Congenital heart defects
- Turner syndrome
- Other chromosomal abnormalities
Further tests such as NIPT, CVS, or amniocentesis may be advised if results show increased risk.
How is the NT Scan Performed?
The procedure is gentle, safe, and takes about 20–30 minutes. Here’s how it works:
- Conducted by a trained NT scan radiologist using a transabdominal ultrasound
- You’ll lie back as the fetus’s nuchal translucency is measured
- We also monitor nasal bone development, heart rate, and fetal movement
- In some cases, a double marker blood test is recommended alongside
You’ll receive an NT scan report immediately or within a few hours.
