Unveiling Insights for Your Baby's Well-Being
The Nuchal Translucency Scan at Texas Imaging & Labs is a pivotal step in your pregnancy journey, offering valuable insights into your baby's health and development. This specialized ultrasound is designed to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities and provide you with early information about your baby's well-being.
Ultrasound / Sonography
NT Pregnancy Scan
Indication
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.
How to Prepare for Ultrasound
To ensure a seamless experience during your Nuchal Translucency Scan, consider the following preparations:
Hydration: Drink plenty of water in the hours leading up to your scan. This helps in obtaining clearer images.
Comfortable Attire: Wear loose and comfortable clothing, as you may need to expose your lower abdomen for the scan.
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.
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.
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.
Personal Water Bottle: Although we provide clean water to drink, feel free to bring your own water bottle for added convenience and personal preference.
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.
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.
What to Carry
To ensure a smooth and efficient Nuchal Translucency Scan experience, make sure to bring the following:
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.
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.
What to Expect During the Scan
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.
What to Expect After the Scan
Upon completion of the Nuchal Translucency Scan, please adhere to the following guidelines:
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.
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.
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.

The Nuchal Translucency (NT) ultrasound scan is a prenatal screening test performed between 11 and 14 weeks of pregnancy. It measures the thickness of the nuchal fold at the back of the baby's neck to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, particularly Down syndrome.
Yes, the NT scan is a safe and non-invasive procedure for both the mother and the baby. It involves using ultrasound technology to measure the thickness of the nuchal fold and does not pose any known risks.
The NT scan is ideally performed between 11 and 14 weeks of pregnancy to obtain accurate results. It is important to schedule the scan within this timeframe to ensure the most reliable assessment of chromosomal abnormalities.
Typically, the NT scan takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete. However, this may vary depending on various factors such as the position of the baby and the clarity of the images obtained. In cases where the baby's position is not optimal, the scan may take longer to ensure thorough imaging. To minimize waiting time, we recommend calling our reception desk at 777 5000 247 to schedule your appointment.
The NT scan primarily assesses the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, particularly Down syndrome, by measuring the thickness of the nuchal fold. Additionally, it may also provide valuable information about other structural abnormalities in the fetus.
The NT scan is considered a reliable screening test for chromosomal abnormalities, with a detection rate of approximately 75% to 85%. However, it is important to note that it is not a diagnostic test, and further diagnostic procedures may be recommended based on the results.
To assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome, trisomy 18, and trisomy 13, your clinician will analyze the results of this test along with serum biochemistry. If the test indicates an increased risk (a positive result), further diagnostic tests may be recommended. It's important to understand that a positive result from first trimester screening doesn't confirm a chromosomal anomaly, and a negative result (indicating decreased risk) doesn't guarantee the absence of abnormalities. Additional investigations and follow-up scans may be needed to confirm a positive test result.
Yes, you will likely receive printed images or digital copies of the ultrasound images for your records.
The cost of a Nuchal Translucency (NT) scan for twin pregnancies can vary significantly among different centers in Pune, including areas like Kharadi, Chandan Nagar, Keshav Nagar, Viman Nagar, Koregaon Park, Mundhwa, Kalyani Nagar, and others. Prices typically range from Rs 1000 to Rs 4000, depending on factors such as the radiologist's experience and the amenities available. However, we strongly advise against basing your decision solely on price, especially for pregnancy scans where the health and well-being of the baby are of utmost importance. At Texas Imaging & Labs, we prioritize quality and precision in all our services.
Yes, as per the PCPNDT act of the Government of India, a referral letter or prescription from your gynecologist is mandatory. This letter should include the indication for the scan, along with the signature and stamp of the referring gynecologist. Without a referral letter, no pregnancy scan can be conducted.
