This module introduces the essential markers used in early aneuploidy screening. Students will learn the clinical protocols for assessing Nuchal Translucency (NT), the nasal bone, and other primary sonographic indicators between weeks 11 and 13+6.

1. What is the precise gestational age window for performing the Nuchal Translucency (NT) measurement?
8+0 to 10+6 weeks 11+0 to 13+6 weeks 15+0 to 20+0 weeks
2. What anatomical structure IS the Nuchal Translucency?
The skin itself A fluid-filled space at the back of the fetal neck The spinal cord
3. Which anatomical landmark is the absolute deal-breaker for confirming you're in a TRUE mid-sagittal face view for NT?
The anterior fontanelle The maxilla The rectangular shape of the fetal palate
4. When evaluating the nasal bone, what does a "hypoplastic" nasal bone look like compared to a normal one?
It's completely missing It's present but smaller and less echogenic than the overlying skin It's larger than normal
5. For the most accurate NT caliper placement, where exactly must you place them?
Outer edge to outer edge of the nuchal skin Inner edge of skin to outer edge of the nuchal membrane Inner-to-inner at the widest part of the translucent space
6. You see the nasal bone, but it's way less bright than the skin line above it. How do you classify this finding?
Normal nasal bone Hypoplastic nasal bone Absent nasal bone
7. Looking at a normal Ductus Venosus (DV) waveform, what does a positive (forward) A-wave represent?
Atrial relaxation Atrial contraction with blood flowing forward into the IVC Ventricular systole
8. You spot a reversed A-wave in the DV Doppler. What does this indicate?
Normal physiological variant Imminent fetal demise Increased risk for chromosomal aneuploidies (T21, T18, T13)
9. In combined first trimester screening, what is the typical serum marker pattern for Trisomy 21?
High PAPP-A, Low free beta-hCG Low PAPP-A, High free beta-hCG Both markers elevated
10. A patient with a high-risk screen result asks about diagnostic certainty. What is your answer?
The screening is 99% accurate NIPT is the diagnostic gold standard CVS and amniocentesis remain the only diagnostic tests
