USG Obstetric NT/NB/Level 1 is a specialized, non-invasive first-trimester ultrasound examination performed between 11 and 14 weeks of pregnancy. The scan helps accurately determine gestational age, assess early fetal growth and anatomy, and screen for the risk of chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome. It includes measurement of Nuchal Translucency (NT), assessment of the Nasal Bone (NB), evaluation of fetal heartbeat and viability, and an early anatomical assessment to support comprehensive prenatal care and pregnancy management.

Depending on the ultrasound findings and your individual risk assessment, your doctor may recommend first-trimester biochemical screening, non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), genetic counseling, follow-up ultrasound, or diagnostic testing.
The scan is typically performed between 12 and 14 weeks of pregnancy, when NT and NB measurements are most accurate.
Yes. Ultrasound uses sound waves and does not involve radiation, making it safe for both mother and baby.
It can identify early signs of chromosomal abnormalities, assess fetal heartbeat, evaluate growth, and detect certain major structural abnormalities.
It provides an early assessment of fetal growth, viability, gestational age, NT, nasal bone, and early fetal anatomy, while contributing valuable information to first-trimester prenatal screening and helping guide appropriate pregnancy follow-up.
