Combining Detailed Fetal Anatomy Scanning in the NT Window Versus Early Second Trimester Scanning at 14-16 Weeks: A Non-Inferiority Study. [PDF]

J Ultrasound Med
Objectives First‐trimester ultrasound has evolved to incorporate a detailed fetal anatomy scan (FAS) with nuchal translucency (NT) screening. Many institutions use a 2‐visit protocol: NT followed by detailed FAS at 14–16 weeks. We aimed to evaluate whether integrating detailed FAS into the NT window (12 + 5 to 13 + 6 weeks) is non‐inferior in ...
