Optimising the timing for nuchal translucency measurement
Prenatal Diagnosis, 2002AbstractIt appears from current evidence that the most effective screening strategy for Down syndrome will involve a combination of first trimester nuchal translucency and serum biochemistry, whether performed in the first or second trimester. The aim of this study was to determine the optimum gestation based upon menstrual dates at which to schedule ...

Undermeasurement of Nuchal Translucencies: Implications for Screening
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2010To analyze the maximum nuchal translucency from 327 centers to determine whether a more-than-expected number of centers had maximum nuchal translucency of 2.5 mm or less (approximately 4% of nuchal translucency values should be 2.5 mm or higher).We analyzed data from 182,669 nuchal translucency cases at centers in which at least 100 nuchal translucency

Monitoring Quality Control of Nuchal Translucency
Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2010Nuchal translucency is the single most discriminatory marker for screening Down syndrome. When this marker is combined with concurrent maternal serum markers, the model-predicted performance is greater than for all second-trimester serum-only combinations.

Automatic detection and measurement of nuchal translucency
Computers in Biology and Medicine, 2017In this paper we propose a new methodology to support the physician both to identify automatically the nuchal region and to obtain a correct thickness measurement of the nuchal translucency. The thickness of the nuchal translucency is one of the main markers for screening of chromosomal defects such as trisomy 13, 18 and 21.

Outcome of fetuses with increased nuchal translucency
Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2001Recent reports on nuchal translucency screening in unselected patient populations show results that are comparable with those reported by the thus far largest series on screening for Down's syndrome based on maternal age and nuchal translucency measurement.

Nuchal translucency---screening without consent
BMJ, 1998It was during a pregnancy four years ago that I became aware of nuchal translucency. As a doctor with postgraduate training in obstetrics, I thought that I would understand quite a lot about my obstetric care. During a scan I became aware that the ultrasonographer was spending a lot of time viewing round the back of the baby's head.

Intracranial translucency assessment at first trimester nuchal translucency ultrasound
Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, 2016AbstractIntroductionThe antenatal diagnosis of open spina bifida (OSB), a neural tube defect, is predominantly made at the second trimester morphology scan by ultrasound detection of structural abnormalities resulting from the associated Chiari II malformation. Evidence has emerged suggesting that these structural abnormalities can be detected earlier,

Technical Aspects of Nuchal Translucency Measurement
Seminars in Perinatology, 2005Nuchal translucency (NT) describes an echo-free area, below the skin, in the posterior nuchal and back region of the fetus and is typically observed in the first and early second trimester of pregnancy. A wide NT has been correlated with chromosomal and congenital abnormalities in the fetus.
