From Pregnancy for Dummies-(My bible lately )
This test uses ultrasound to measure a special area behind the fetal neck. Only physicians specially trained in the procedure should conduct a nuchal traslucency test. When measurements are combined with blood screening tests, the accuracy of thses tests(for chromosomal problems such as downs) are increased.
