Patient's question:
What does NT screening in prenatal tests mean? This is my second child. I vaguely remember that when I was pregnant with my first child, this test wasn't done.Doctor's answer:
Performing a detailed check is a method to carefully examine whether the fetus in the pregnant woman's abdomen has abnormalities. This check is usually done around the third month. It involves using color ultrasound to measure the thickness of the fetal neck translucency, which helps to predict whether the fetus has abnormalities. This is a very necessary check. If it falls within the normal range, it can be a relief. At the same time, a Down syndrome screening can be done around the 14th week of pregnancy.
