The average nt nb scan test cost in Lucknow is approximately Rs. ₹4,000 with prices ranging from Rs. 3,900 to Rs. 4,100. The NT NB Scan stands for Nuchal Translucency and Nasal Bone Scan. It is a specialised ultrasound performed during the first trimester of pregnancy, typically between 11 and 14 weeks. This scan measures the thickness of fluid at the back of the baby’s neck (nuchal translucency) and checks for the presence and development of the nasal bone. The price of an NT NB scan in Lucknow depends on multiple factors such as the diagnostic centre, equipment quality and the experience of the radiologist. At Birla Fertility & IVF, we provide you with the best quality diagnostics at a reasonable cost.

Purpose of the NT NB Scan

As you are now aware of the NT NB scan cost in Lucknow, let’s understand the purpose and importance of the scan. 

The NT NB scan plays a vital role in detecting potential chromosomal abnormalities in the baby, such as Down Syndrome, Edwards Syndrome and Patau Syndrome. Check the table below to understand this more in detail. 

Purpose How does it help?
Detection of Chromosomal Abnormalities It helps assess the risk of conditions like

  • Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21)
  • Edwards Syndrome (Trisomy 18)
  • Patau Syndrome (Trisomy 13)

by measuring nuchal translucency and nasal bone presence. These markers help identify potential genetic conditions early.

Accurate Gestational Age
  • It confirms the baby’s exact age by measuring the size and development.
  • This ensures proper monitoring and planning for the pregnancy timeline.
Identification of Multiple Pregnancies
  • It helps determine if the mother is carrying twins or triplets.
  • This allows healthcare providers to tailor prenatal care accordingly.
Detection of Structural Abnormalities It aids in screening for early developmental issues such as improper organ development or physical abnormalities that may need further investigation.
Evaluation of Baby’s Overall Growth
  • It assesses the baby’s overall growth parameters like size and position.
  • This helps in ensuring that they align with standard developmental milestones for the pregnancy week.

Factors Affecting NT NB Scan Cost in Lucknow

The price of an NT NB scan in Lucknow varies based on several factors:

Factors Impact on Cost
Clinic location (metro vs. non-metro) Prices may be higher in metro cities due to advanced facilities.
Specialist consultation fees Fees may vary based on the specialist’s qualifications and experience.
Type of ultrasound equipment Advanced imaging technologies can increase the cost.
Additional tests included If combined with other fertility investigations, the total cost may rise.

When is the NT NB Scan Recommended

Doctors generally recommend this scan between the 11th and 14th week of pregnancy. It is often suggested if:

  • There is a family history of chromosomal disorders.
  • The mother’s age is above 35, increasing the risk of abnormalities.
  • Abnormal results in previous tests require follow-up.

Preparing for an NT NB Scan

Preparing for an NT NB scan is simple and requires minimal effort. Here are a few tips:

  • Drink water before the scan. A full bladder improves image clarity.
  • Wear comfortable clothing for easy access during the procedure.
  • Bring previous medical reports, especially if you have early pregnancy scans.

How is the NT NB Scan Performed?

It can be performed in two ways: either abdominally or vaginally. 

Method 1-

The NT NB abdominal scan is a safe, non-invasive procedure that involves:

Positioning

The mother lies on a comfortable examination table.

Ultrasound Gel Application

A gel is applied to the abdomen to aid soundwave transmission.

Scanning

The radiologist moves a transducer across the abdomen to capture images of the baby.

Measurement: The nuchal translucency thickness and nasal bone development are assessed.

The entire process typically takes 20–30 minutes, with results provided soon after or sent to the referring doctor.

Method 2- 

In the second method, the scan is done through the vagina. The sonographer will insert a small probe in the vagina which can cause mild discomfort. However, it is generally not painful and well-tolerable in most cases. The transvaginal scan is usually done if the results are not clear through an abdominal scan.  

Interpreting NT NB Scan Results

The results of an NT NB scan include:

  • Nuchal Translucency Measurement: A thickness of less than 3.5mm is usually considered normal.
  • Nasal Bone Observation: The presence of a nasal bone suggests a lower likelihood of chromosomal issues.

It is essential to note that these findings only indicate a probability and not a definitive diagnosis. Further tests may be recommended if the results raise concerns.

Why is the NT NB Scan Crucial for Pregnancy?

The NT NB scan offers invaluable insights into the baby’s development at a critical stage. Early detection of potential abnormalities can:

  • Guide parents and doctors in making informed decisions.
  • Prepare for additional medical care if required.
  • Ensure a smoother pregnancy journey with close monitoring.

The NT NB scan is an important part of your antenatal care as it will give you an early prognosis for your unborn child. Being affordable and accessible, it is a worthy step in ensuring a healthy pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

If the scan is done transvaginally then the sonographer will insert a small probe in the vagina. It may cause some slight discomfort. It is usually not painful and well-tolerated.

Chromosomal defects such as Down syndrome, trisome 13, and trisome 18 can be detected through the NT/NB scan.

It aids in identifying chromosomal abnormalities and tracks the early development of the baby.

A range below less than 3.5 mm is considered normal when measured between 11 to 14 weeks of pregnancy.

The NT NB scan is safe and does not harm the baby. However, make sure to get it done through an experienced sonographer.
