Summary Nuchal Translucency, as part of the Combined Test, is an effective and accurate method of screening for fetal anomalies, especially Trisomy 21. Sensitive, non-invasive non invasive screening tests ensure that only those pregnancies at high-risk high risk for abnormalities undergo invasive diagnostic procedures. Ultrasonographers must be carefully trained in NT measurement. All women who receive aneuploidy screening should be appropriately counseled and provided with thorough follow- follow up.
