Simplified protocol of nuchal translucency measurement: Is it still effective?
OBJECTIVE 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. We undertook this study to investigate whether the simplified protocol enable...
متن کاملAutomatic Nuchal Translucency Measurement from Ultrasonography
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. The algorithm starts by finding the pose of the feta...
متن کاملMeasurement of fetal nuchal translucency thickness by three-dimensional ultrasound.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility and repeatability of nuchal translucency thickness measurement using three-dimensional ultrasound. METHODS Forty consecutive women with uncomplicated singleton pregnancies attending for Down syndrome screening at 11-14 weeks' gestation were included in this prospective crossover trial. Nuchal translucency thickness was measured using both two-dimension...
متن کاملNuchal translucency measurement in fetuses with spinal muscular atrophy.
OBJECTIVE Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder with a high carrier frequency in the general population. The severity of this disorder indicates the importance of early prenatal detection. In medical literature, there are a few published case reports of enlarged nuchal translucency (NT) measurement in association with a diagnosis of SMA in the fetus....
متن کاملNuchal translucency measurement in first trimester Down syndrome screening.
(1) Approximately three in every four fetuses with Down syndrome have increased nuchal translucency (NT), which is a larger than normal build-up of fluid at the back of the neck. (2) The ultrasound measurement of NT between 11 and 14 weeks' gestation, in combination with the mother's age and the levels of placental biochemical markers in her blood, can be used to detect approximately 84% of fet...
