Intelligent quality assessment of ultrasound images for fetal nuchal translucency measurement during the first trimester of pregnancy based on deep learning models [PDF]

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth
Objective As increased nuchal translucency (NT) thickness is notably associated with fetal chromosomal abnormalities, structural defects, and genetic syndromes, accurate measurement of NT thickness is crucial for the screening of fetal abnormalities ...

Ultrasonographic Fetal Nuchal Translucency Measurements and Cytogenetic Outcomes. [PDF]

JAMA Netw Open
ImportanceUltrasonographic measurement of fetal nuchal translucency is used in prenatal screening for trisomies 21 and 18 and other conditions. A cutoff of 3.5 mm or greater is commonly used to offer follow-up investigations, such as prenatal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) screening or cytogenetic testing.

Evaluation of Nuchal Translucency Measurement in First Trimester Pregnancy [PDF]

International Journal of Fertility and Sterility, 2011
Background A significant number of pregnancies, particularly in women with previous histories of infertility, are associated with fetal abnormalities. Methods such as the nuchal translucency (NT) measurement enable us to identify more pregnancies

Intra‐ and interoperator repeatability of the nuchal translucency measurement [PDF]

Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2000
AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the repeatability of nuchal translucency measurement by well‐trained sonographers either experienced or inexperienced with the measurement.MethodsThe nuchal translucency was measured three times by two out of nine operators in 161 pregnant women attending two teaching hospitals.

Weekly Nuchal Translucency Measurements in Normal Fetuses

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1998
To examine the longitudinal course of nuchal translucency thickness by weekly measurements between 10 and 15 weeks' gestation in normal fetuses.Nuchal translucency was measured weekly from 10 to 15 weeks' gestation in 64 fetuses with normal pregnancy outcome. The median and the fifth, 25th, 75th, and 95th percentiles were calculated.Nuchal translucency

Simplified protocol of nuchal translucency measurement: Is it still effective? [PDF]

Obstet Gynecol Sci, 2013
Nuchal translucency (NT) is the most powerful screening tool for Down syndrome and congenital cardiac anomaly, therefore strict guidelines were established to get accurate NT values. However, to stick to the guideline in all pregnant women is time-consuming and superfluous in majority of low risk population.

Outcomes of pregnancies with varying levels of nuchal translucency measurements: A population‐based retrospective study in Ontario, Canada [PDF]

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica
Introduction Nuchal translucency prenatal ultrasound is widely used to screen for chromosomal abnormalities. An elevated nuchal translucency has been associated with adverse outcomes such as pregnancy loss; however, extant studies investigating these ...

Automatic Nuchal Translucency Measurement from Ultrasonography [PDF]

, 2013
This paper proposes a fully automatic approach for computing Nuchal Translucency (NT) measurement in an ultrasound scans of the mid-sagittal plane of a fetal head. This is an improvement upon current NT measurement methods which require manual placement of NT measurement points or user-guidance in semi-automatic segmentation of the NT region.

Nuchal translucency measurement and pregnancy outcome in karyotypically normal fetuses [PDF]

Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2001
AbstractObjectiveThe aim of the study was to evaluate the use of nuchal translucency measurement as a marker of adverse pregnancy outcome in karyotypically normal fetuses.MethodsDuring the years 1995–99, nuchal translucency (NT) measurement was routinely offered to all women who had their dating scan in our unit.
