Patient's question:
Doctor, I am currently 3 months pregnant. I would like to ask if an appointment is required for the NT screening. Additionally, I would like to inquire what documents are needed for establishing the medical records. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
The NT scan during early pregnancy ultrasound is primarily used to screen for the risk of significant Down syndrome in the child. If the NT value exceeds the normal range, it suggests that the child may be at risk of Down syndrome, which allows for further consideration of other tests such as amniocentesis. If the test results are normal, it is sufficient to continue with subsequent prenatal tests and corresponding screening at the appropriate gestational weeks.
