The NT test is performed when the pregnant woman is around 11 to 14 weeks pregnant. It is the first B-ultrasound test to rule out fetal malformation. The B-ultrasound is used to check the thickness of the fetal nuchal translucency. If the thickness exceeds the normal range, the chances of postnatal complications such as chromosomal problems and heart problems are relatively high.

2. Down syndrome screening

Down screening test is the general name for prenatal selection test for Down syndrome. It is a test method that extracts blood cells from pregnant women, tests the concentrations of alpha-fetoprotein, human chorionic gonadotropin and free estriol in the pregnant women's blood cells, and calculates the risk of giving birth to a baby with congenital defects based on the pregnant woman's due date, weight, age and weeks of pregnancy when blood was drawn.
