Book Your NT Scan WhatsApp UsThe NT — or nuchal translucency — scan is an important diagnostic ultrasound performed between the 11th and 14th week of pregnancy. It measures the thickness of the fluid behind the baby's neck, which can indicate the risk of chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome, heart defects or other genetic conditions.
The NT scan is one of the safest and most effective ways to assess potential health concerns in the baby early on — giving parents peace of mind and doctors the opportunity to intervene early if necessary. Dr. Lida Anwari, with over a decade of experience in obstetrics, gynecology and fetal medicine, offers specialized NT scans in Dubai so that both mother and baby are monitored for optimal health outcomes.
The scan is non-invasive, painless, and generally takes about 20 minutes.
