The First Trimester Fetal Screening (FTS) - Nuchal Translucency (NT) Scan at Sooriya Diagnostic, Kathmandu, is a crucial prenatal screening test performed between 11 to 14 weeks of pregnancy. This ultrasound measures the nuchal translucency (fluid at the back of the baby's neck) to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18), and Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13).

In addition to detecting potential genetic conditions, this scan helps evaluate fetal growth, early structural development, amniotic fluid levels, and placental health. The FTS (NT Scan) is often combined with maternal blood tests to provide a more comprehensive risk assessment.

This non-invasive and safe ultrasound is highly recommended for all expectant mothers, particularly those over 35 years of age, with a family history of genetic disorders, or with previous pregnancy complications. Early detection allows for timely medical consultation, additional diagnostic tests (such as NIPT or amniocentesis), and better pregnancy management if needed.

At Sooriya Diagnostic, we use high-resolution ultrasound technology and experienced specialists to ensure accurate measurements and reliable screening results for a healthy pregnancy journey.
