What is the NT scan ?

A nuchal scan or nuchal translucency scan/procedure is a sonographic prenatal screening scan to detect cardiovascular abnormalities in a fetus, though altered extracellular matrix composition and limited lymphatic drainage can also be detected

What is the normal range of the NT scan ?

Between 1.3 -2.6 is the normal range A baby with an NT of 1.3mm is within the normal range. The baby with an NT of 2.9mm is also within the limit of normal range. Nine out of 10 babies with a measurement between 2.5mm and 3.5mm will not have Down's syndrome . As the NT increases, so does the chance of Down's syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities.
