This prenatal first trimester screening test, also known as nuchal translucency screening, uses ultrasound to measure the tissue thickness at the back of your developing baby's neck.  This measurement can help assess your baby's risk for Down Syndrome (DS) and other chromosomal abnormalities when performed during the first trimester of your pregnancy.  Unlike diagnostic tests, it's painless and involves no risk to you or your baby.
