The Nuchal Translucency Scan is recommended for pregnant individuals between 11 to 13 weeks. This critical timeframe allows for accurate measurements of the nuchal fold, a fluid-filled space at the back of the baby's neck, aiding in the assessment of potential chromosomal conditions.

To ensure a seamless experience during your Nuchal Translucency Scan, consider the following preparations:

1. Hydration: Drink plenty of water in the hours leading up to your scan. This helps in obtaining clearer images.

2. Comfortable Attire: Wear loose and comfortable clothing, as you may need to expose your lower abdomen for the scan.

3. Optimal Bladder Distension: Achieving an optimal distension of the urinary bladder is essential for this scan. Plan accordingly from home to ensure the best results.

4. Bring Headphones: While we strive to keep wait times minimal, unforeseen circumstances or emergency cases may cause delays. To enhance your comfort during any potential wait, consider bringing headphones to enjoy calming music or entertainment.

5. Carry a Fresh Napkin: For your convenience, we recommend bringing a fresh napkin or small towel to clean off the ultrasound jelly after the scan.

6. Personal Water Bottle: Although we provide clean water to drink, feel free to bring your own water bottle for added convenience and personal preference.

7. Accompanying Person: You may accompany one close person with you for the scan if needed for your comfort. However, please refrain from bringing more than one person due to space constraints.

8. Call in Advance: To manage your time effectively, call the reception desk in advance to inquire about the waiting period and plan your visit accordingly.

To ensure a smooth and efficient Nuchal Translucency Scan experience, make sure to bring the following:

1. Prescription Letter from Gynecologist: Please carry a prescription letter in the proper format as per PCPNDT Government rules requirement. The letter should clearly mention the indication of the scan, be signed by the Gynecologist, and include a stamp. If the prescription is not in the required format, our Reception desk may request you to obtain another Prescription Letter. To avoid any inconvenience, you can upload the Prescription Letter while requesting an appointment on our portal or send it to our official WhatsApp number for validation.

2. Old Pregnancy Reports (if any): If you have undergone scans or other investigations at a different diagnostic lab, bring those reports along. However, if the scans were conducted at Texas Imaging & Labs, there's no need to carry them, as the information is readily available in our system.

By ensuring you have these documents with you, you contribute to a hassle-free and effective Nuchal Translucency Scan, allowing our team to provide you with the best possible care.

The Nuchal Translucency Scan is a non-invasive procedure, typically performed through abdominal ultrasound. This involves applying gel to your abdomen and using a transducer to obtain detailed images. The focus is on measuring the nuchal fold and assessing other markers for chromosomal conditions.

Upon completion of the Nuchal Translucency Scan, please adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Stay Until Cleared: Do not leave the premises unless instructed to do so by our nursing staff or reception desk. In some cases, the radiologist may need to repeat certain aspects of the scan, and your presence may be necessary.

2. Report Collection: The process of analyzing the images, drafting the report, and printing images typically takes 1-2 hours. In such cases, we recommend that you feel free to leave our premises and go about your day, knowing that you can collect the report at any later time during our working hours. Alternatively, you can conveniently download the report from our secure portal.

3. Communication of Results: Rest assured that the report is not only accessible to you but is also sent to your referring Gynecologist. If necessary, our Radiologist may communicate the results directly over the phone to the Gynecologist, providing with comprehensive and timely information about your baby's health.
