How is the NT Scan done?

The NT NB scan in Bangalore is done between 11–13 weeks to screen for chromosomal risks. At Her Care, NT NB scan starts at ₹2,500 with same-day reports by a female radiologist. The NT NB (Nuchal Translucency and Nasal Bone) scan is a crucial prenatal screening test performed during the first trimester of pregnancy. It involves a specialized ultrasound examination to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, particularly Down syndrome, as well as certain structural defects in the developing fetus. By measuring the thickness of the nuchal translucency, a fluid-filled space at the back of the baby's neck, and evaluating the presence and visibility of the nasal bone, the NT NB scan provides valuable insights into the baby's health. This advanced screening procedure offers several benefits. Firstly, it helps expectant parents gain a better understanding of their baby's risk for chromosomal abnormalities, allowing them to make informed decisions about further diagnostic tests or interventions. Early detection of potential health concerns can lead to timely medical interventions, if necessary, and provide parents with the necessary support and resources. Additionally, the NT NB scan provides reassurance and peace of mind to parents by offering an early glimpse into their baby's well-being and development. At our clinic, we specialize in conducting NT NB scans with the utmost precision and accuracy. Our experienced team of healthcare professionals utilizes state-of-the-art ultrasound technology to perform the scan, ensuring reliable results. We understand the significance of this screening test for expectant parents and strive to deliver comprehensive and compassionate care throughout the process. Trust us to provide you with the highest quality NT NB scan, helping you navigate your pregnancy journey with confidence and peace of mind.
1
Early Scan The Early Scan is done between 6 to 9 weeks of pregnancy. This scan is done to confirm the pregnancy.
2
NT NB Scan NT NB Scan is done between 11 to 13 weeks of pregnancy. It is taken with a double marker blood test to give you a combined risk.
3
Anomaly Scan Anomaly Scan is done between 18 to 22 weeks of pregnancy. This is the most important scan of your pregnancy.
4
Growth Scan Growth scan is done between 28 to 32 weeks of pregnancy. This scan is done to check the growth of the baby.

When is the NT Scan done?

The NT NB scan must be done within a specific window for accurate results: • 11 weeks 0 days to 13 weeks 6 days: This is the only window when NT measurement is valid • CRL (Crown-Rump Length): Baby must measure between 45mm and 84mm • Ideal timing: 12-13 weeks — baby is larger and easier to measure accurately If you miss this window, the NT scan cannot be performed. The nuchal translucency naturally reduces after 14 weeks, making measurements unreliable. Book your appointment as soon as you cross 11 weeks to ensure you don't miss the window.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an NT scan with double marker test? close
The NT scan with double marker test is a prenatal screening test that combines the measurement of nuchal translucency (NT) with blood tests. It helps assess the risk of certain chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21) and Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18), in the developing fetus.
When is the best time to undergo an NT scan with double marker test? close
The NT scan with double marker test is typically performed between 11 and 14 weeks of pregnancy. It is important to schedule the test within this timeframe to ensure accurate results.
How is the NT scan with double marker test performed? close
During the NT scan, an ultrasound is used to measure the thickness of the fluid at the back of the baby's neck (nuchal translucency). In addition, blood samples are taken from the mother to measure certain proteins and hormones. The combination of these measurements helps determine the risk of chromosomal abnormalities.
Is the NT scan with double marker test invasive or risky? close
No, the NT scan with double marker test is non-invasive and does not pose any risk to the mother or the developing fetus. It involves a simple ultrasound examination and blood tests.
What do the results of the NT scan with double marker test indicate? close
The results of the NT scan with double marker test provide a risk assessment for certain chromosomal abnormalities. A low-risk result does not guarantee the absence of abnormalities, while a high-risk result indicates the need for further diagnostic tests to confirm the diagnosis.
What should I do if my NT scan with double marker test results indicate a high-risk for chromosomal abnormalities? close
If your test results indicate a high-risk, it does not necessarily mean that your baby has a chromosomal abnormality. However, further diagnostic tests, such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling, may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis. Consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the next steps and understand your options.
How much does NT scan cost in Bangalore? close
At Her Care, NT NB Scan costs ₹2,500. NT NB Scan with Double Marker blood test costs ₹4,500. Prices are all-inclusive with same-day digital and physical reports.
Is NT scan painful? close
No, the NT scan is not painful. It is a regular abdominal ultrasound where gel is applied to your belly and a probe is moved over it. The scan takes about 15-20 minutes. No internal scan is required for NT measurement.
What if I miss the NT scan window (after 14 weeks)? close
If you miss the 11-14 week window, NT scan cannot be done as measurements become unreliable. However, you can still do a Quadruple Marker blood test (15-20 weeks) or NIPT test for chromosomal screening. Your doctor will guide you on the best alternative.
Should I do NT scan alone or with Double Marker test? close
We recommend NT scan with Double Marker test for better accuracy. The combined screening (NT + NB + Double Marker) has a detection rate of about 85-90% for Down syndrome, compared to 70-75% for NT scan alone.
Do I need a full bladder for NT scan? close
A moderately full bladder can help get clearer images, especially in early pregnancy. We recommend drinking 2-3 glasses of water about an hour before your appointment. However, you don't need to be uncomfortably full.
Where can I get NT scan in Bangalore? close
Her Care offers NT NB scan at our Bellandur clinic (near Xochi Restaurant, Bellandur Service Road). We are easily accessible from Koramangala, HSR Layout, Marathahalli, and Sarjapur Road. All scans are done by a qualified female radiologist.
