Book your USG OBS NT-NB with Twins Scan at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL & NABH Accredited Diagnostic Centre that provides advanced laboratory pathology services. Our expert team performs highly resolved ultrasound examinations to precisely determine the growth and development of twin pregnancies earlier while screening for chromosomal abnormalities.
About USG OBS NT-NB with Twins
USG OBS NT-NB with Twins is a specialized first-trimester ultrasound that is performed between 11-13 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy. The scan assesses both fetuses in a twin pregnancy by assessing the presence of the nasal bone (NB) and by measuring the Nuchal Translucency (NT).
At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, our team uses advanced laboratory technologies that include advanced ultrasound, which provides detailed fetal assessment and helps obstetricians to identify pregnancies that require closer monitoring.
What is a USG OBS NT-NB with Twins Scan?
The examination also determines whether the twins share the same placenta (chorionicity) or have separate placentas, as well as whether they share the same amniotic sac (amnionicity). This information is essential for planning antenatal care and monitoring potential twin pregnancy complications.
A USG OBS NT-NB with Twins is an ultrasound that is specifically designed for twin pregnancies. Each fetus is assessed for growth separately, heart activity, nuchal translucency thickness, and nasal bone visualization during the scan.
Common Reasons for USG OBS NT-NB with Twins
First-trimester screening in twin pregnancy
Assessment of fetal viability
Measurement of nuchal translucency (NT)
Evaluation of nasal bone (NB)
Confirmation of gestational age
Determination of chorionicity and amnionicity
Early screening for chromosomal abnormalities
Assessment of early fetal anatomy
Monitoring twin pregnancy development
Evaluation before combined first-trimester screening tests
Conditions Evaluated
Chromosomal Abnormality Screening
Measures nuchal translucency and evaluates the nasal bone to estimate the risk of conditions such as Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Trisomy 18, and Trisomy 13 when combined with maternal blood tests.
Twin Pregnancy Assessment
Determines chorionicity and amnionicity, which are important factors in managing twin pregnancies and identifying potential complications.
Early Structural Assessment
Examines the developing brain, spine, limbs, abdominal wall, heart position, stomach, bladder, and other major fetal structures.
Fetal Growth and Viability
Confirms heartbeat, assesses crown-rump length (CRL), and evaluates appropriate growth of both fetuses.
Multiple Pregnancy Monitoring
Identifies early complications such as growth discordance, vanishing twin syndrome, or other abnormalities requiring specialist follow-up.
Who Should Consider this Scan?
Your doctor may recommend a USG OBS NT-NB with Twins scan if you:
Are pregnant with twins
Are between 11 and 13 weeks 6 days of pregnancy
Require first-trimester chromosomal screening
Need confirmation of chorionicity and amnionicity
Have a family history of genetic disorders
Conceived through assisted reproductive techniques such as IVF
Require detailed early pregnancy assessment

Test information: No preperation needed.
Reporting: Within 01 hour*
No fasting is required for this scan.
A moderately full bladder may be recommended, especially during early pregnancy or for a transabdominal examination. Please follow your doctor's instructions.
Wear loose and comfortable clothing for easy access to the abdomen.
Carry all previous pregnancy ultrasound reports, blood test reports, antenatal records, IVF records (if applicable), and your doctor's referral.
Continue taking your prescribed medications, including prenatal vitamins, unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
Inform the radiologist about your last menstrual period (LMP), expected due date (EDD), previous pregnancy complications, or any history of genetic disorders.
If you are carrying twins through IVF or other assisted reproductive techniques, inform the radiologist before the examination.
Arrive at the centre 15–20 minutes before your scheduled appointment.
इस जांच के लिए फास्टिंग की आवश्यकता नहीं होती है।
शुरुआती गर्भावस्था में या ट्रांसएब्डॉमिनल जांच के लिए मूत्राशय का हल्का भरा होना आवश्यक हो सकता है। कृपया डॉक्टर के निर्देशों का पालन करें।
जांच के दौरान सुविधा के लिए ढीले और आरामदायक कपड़े पहनकर आएं।
अपनी सभी पुरानी गर्भावस्था की अल्ट्रासाउंड रिपोर्ट, रक्त जांच रिपोर्ट, एंटीनटल रिकॉर्ड, IVF रिकॉर्ड (यदि लागू हो) तथा डॉक्टर का रेफरल साथ लेकर आएं।
डॉक्टर की सलाह के अनुसार अपनी नियमित दवाइयाँ और प्रेग्नेंसी सप्लीमेंट लेते रहें।
रेडियोलॉजिस्ट को अपने अंतिम मासिक धर्म (LMP), संभावित प्रसव तिथि (EDD), पिछली गर्भावस्था की किसी समस्या या आनुवंशिक रोग के पारिवारिक इतिहास की जानकारी दें।
यदि गर्भधारण IVF या किसी अन्य सहायक प्रजनन तकनीक से हुआ है, तो इसकी जानकारी जांच से पहले अवश्य दें।
पंजीकरण और तैयारी के लिए निर्धारित समय से 15–20 मिनट पहले केंद्र पर पहुंचें।
The patient is asked to lie comfortably on the examination table.
A water-based ultrasound gel is applied over the abdomen.
A high-resolution ultrasound probe is used to examine both fetuses individually.
The radiologist measures the Nuchal Translucency (NT) and evaluates the Nasal Bone (NB) for each fetus.
The scan assesses fetal heartbeat, Crown-Rump Length (CRL), early fetal anatomy, and overall growth.
Chorionicity and amnionicity are determined to identify whether the twins share a placenta or amniotic sac.
Additional measurements are performed if clinically indicated to evaluate the health and development of both fetuses.
The procedure is safe, painless, non-invasive, and does not involve radiation.
The examination usually takes approximately 20–40 minutes, depending on fetal position and the complexity of the twin pregnancy. Reports are generally available within 01 hour*.
