Does NT increase with CRL?
Conclusion: Our study offers normative data of NT thickness in normal fetus, which can be used as reference to screen various chromosomal and congenital abnormalities between 11- 14 weeks of gestation. NT thickness increased with increasing CRL and a false positive rate increases with increasing gestational age.
What is the average CRL at 13 weeks?

What do you mean by CRL in pregnancy?
Crown-rump length (CRL) is the measurement of the length of human embryos and fetuses from the top of the head (crown) to the bottom of the buttocks (rump). It is typically determined from ultrasound imagery and can be used to estimate gestational age.
What does small CRL mean?
Small CRL (>2 SD below the mean) has been associated with small for gestational age infants (8) and mGSD <50th percentile has been associated with chromosomal abnormalities such as triploidy and trisomy 16 (12).
How accurate is CRL in dating pregnancy?
Up to and including 13 6/7 weeks of gestation, gestational age assessment based on measurement of the crown–rump length (CRL) has an accuracy of ±5–7 days 11 12 13 14. Measurements of the CRL are more accurate the earlier in the first trimester that ultrasonography is performed 11 15 16 17 18.
Do I need to get nuchal translucency screening?
Nuchal translucency screening is a type of ultrasound examination that is done in the first trimester to scan for certain medical conditions. It’s often combined with a blood test.
How long do nuchal scan results take?
The nuchal translucency screening is a normal ultrasound. You’ll lie on your back while a technician holds a probe against your belly. It will take between 20 to 40 minutes.
What does nuchal translucency measurement mean?
The nuchal translucency is the fluid found at the back of your baby’s head and neck, just beneath the skin. The thickness of this fluid can be precisely measured and this is called the nuchal translucency (or NT) measurement.
