Earliest measurements. Smarter testing. Expert support.
The mission of the SMART NT protocol is to provide the earliest, most accurate and safest pathway for assessing babies with increased nuchal translucency (NT). By combining high-resolution ultrasound with advanced non-invasive genetic testing, SMART NT aims to deliver early answers, reduce uncertainty, and offer families timely reassurance or clear guidance for next steps. Our goal is to support parents with expert care, compassion and the most advanced technology available.
Measuring NT at 10 weeks gives the best balance of accuracy and timing. At this stage the baby is big enough for precise measurement, but it is still early enough to allow the quickest possible reassurance or further testing if needed. An increased NT at 10 weeks is often a stronger indicator of underlying problems than when measured later, so parents can receive answers sooner and plan the next steps with confidence.
