Q&A
Yes, this is possible. We call it a “combined scan” – a scan performed at a stage when the pregnancy is far enough along, yet the fetus is still at a size that allows us to gain deep insights about the pregnancy at a relatively early stage.About the Nuchal Translucency scan: The Nuchal Translucency (NT) scan is performed between weeks 11 and 13 of pregnancy. It measures the fluid-filled space at the back of the fetus’s neck, which can help assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome. It also evaluates certain anatomical structures at this early stage, providing important information about the fetus’s development.About the Early Anatomy Scan: The Early Anatomy Scan is performed between weeks 14 and 17 of pregnancy. It offers a more detailed evaluation of the fetus’s organs, skeletal structure, and overall anatomy, enabling the early detection of certain anomalies and structural conditions before the standard mid-pregnancy anatomy scan.By combining these two examinations into a single appointment at the appropriate time, we can gather valuable diagnostic information while minimizing the need for multiple visits.
