Inside the Scan
FMF-standard equipment for accurate first-trimester measurement
Precise nuchal translucency measurement depends on both the right equipment and a steady, experienced hand — both are part of every NT scan here.
The Advanced Fetal NT Scan combines an FMF First Trimester Risk Assessment with the Double Marker Test and Quadruple Test, giving you an accurate, internationally standardised picture of your baby's chromosomal risk between 11 and 14 weeks.
Precise nuchal translucency measurement depends on both the right equipment and a steady, experienced hand — both are part of every NT scan here.
An NT scan is a first-trimester screening scan that measures the fluid at the back of the baby’s neck (nuchal translucency) to assess the risk of certain chromosomal conditions, such as Down syndrome, alongside checking early fetal growth and anatomy. Performed between 11 weeks and 13 weeks 6 days, it is combined with maternal blood markers (the Double Marker Test) for a comprehensive first-trimester risk assessment, following Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) protocols.
Done at the right gestational window, the NT scan is one of the most informative early-pregnancy screens available - guiding decisions about further testing and giving many parents early reassurance.
Measurements taken to Fetal Medicine Foundation, UK-certified standards for accuracy.
NT measurement combined with Double Marker blood test for a comprehensive risk score.

Every result explained in plain language, with next steps discussed if risk is elevated.
The NT scan is done between 11 weeks and 13 weeks 6 days of pregnancy - this specific window is essential for accurate measurement and risk calculation.
No. The NT scan is an early first-trimester risk assessment; the anomaly (TIFFA) scan at 19-22 weeks is a separate, more detailed structural examination of every organ system.
A high-risk result does not confirm a condition - it indicates that further testing, such as NIPT or diagnostic testing (CVS/amniocentesis), may be recommended, and this is discussed in a dedicated counselling session.
