1. When is the absolute optimal window to perform a Nuchal Translucency (NT) scan to assess for chromosomal markers?
8–10 weeks 11–14 weeks 18–22 weeks
2. Why would you switch from a transabdominal to a transvaginal approach during an early anomaly scan?
It gives a wider field of view for measuring fluid Crisp resolution of embryonic structures when the uterus is still in the pelvis Patient preference only

Ectopic pregnancy locations Late-onset preeclampsia risk factors Major structural anomalies: congenital heart disease, cleft palate & clubfoot
5. If an early scan flags a high risk for genetic abnormalities, when is Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) typically scheduled?
10–12 weeks 15–18 weeks After 24 weeks
