This test measures the size of the clear tissue, called the nuchal translucency, at the back of your baby's neck. It's not unusual for a fetus to have fluid or clear space at the back of their neck. But too much clear space can indicate Down syndrome, or might show another chromosome abnormality like Patau syndrome or Edwards syndrome. This scan must be done between 11 weeks and 13 weeks 6 days and a blood test must be done at 11 weeks.

    If you have a lump in your breast or other changes in your tissue or nipple, an ultrasound may help determine the cause. 

    A breast ultrasound is a type of imaging test that a doctor may order to check for tumours or other breast abnormalities. A breast ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce detailed images of the inside of your breast. 

    To conduct a conventional breast ultrasound, a healthcare professional will use a handheld device called a transducer to create images of your breast.

    Unlike X-rays and CT scans, ultrasounds don’t use radiation and are considered safe for pregnant people.
