13-week ultrasound: discover the magic of ultrasound
What is a 13-week ultrasound?
The 13-week scan, also known as the NT (Nuchal Translucency) scan, is a medical ultrasound performed between the 11th and 14th weeks of pregnancy. During this scan, the nuchal translucency measurement is taken to screen for possible genetic abnormalities. In addition to this measurement, the sonographer assesses the basic structures and organs of the fetus, making it an important moment to gain insight into the early development of the baby. The 13-week scan provides screening and is not a definitive diagnosis.
What to expect during the 13-week ultrasound?
From careful measurements of the fetus size to the important nuchal translucency measurement as a screening tool for genetic abnormalities. After the scan, our sonographers discuss their findings with you and any follow-up steps if needed. They are also ready to answer any questions you may have.
