•  NT-Werte werden auf den Normbereich für jedes
Gestationsalter (bzw. SSL) bezogen:
–  Werte oberhalb des Normbereichs „erhöhen“ das individuelle Risiko
–  Ein Wert im oberen Normbereichs bestätigt das Risiko
–  Werte unterhalb des oberen Normbereichs „senken“ das Risiko

Objectives: This study was undertaken to investigate fetal anatomy with the use of standard views
and a scoring system, to investigate interobserver variability, and to compare ultrasound modes
simultaneously with the measurement of nuchal translucency (11-14 weeks’ gestation).
Study design: Twelve fetal anatomic regions were defined as standard views (n Z 60) and assessed
with the use of a scoring system (1 Z not seen, 2 Z seen uncertainly, 3 Z seen acceptably, 4 Z well
seen, and 5 Z very well seen). The variation of scores and interobserver variability were analyzed
(n Z 40), the B-mode was compared with tissue harmonic and compound imaging (n Z 60).
Results: The overall average score (11 C 0 to 13 C 6 weeks) with tissue harmonic and compound
imaging was 3.56 (well seen) and increased with gestation. The highest score was for the neck and
the lowest for the cerebellum. The proportion of identical scores for each given region showed
a range of 58% to 83%. Tissue harmonic and compound imaging was significantly better than the
plain B-mode, P ! .001 (sign test).
Conclusion: Transabdominal fetal anatomy scanning with standard fetal anatomy views at 11 to 14
weeks of gestation is possible with good reproducibility and demonstrability when harmonic and
compound imaging are used.

Objective To assess the diagnostic efficacy of the firsttrimester anomaly scan including first-trimester fetal
echocardiography as a screening procedure in a ‘mediumrisk’ population.
Methods In a prospective study, we evaluated 3094
consecutive fetuses with a crown–rump length (CRL)
of 45–84 mm and gestational age between 11 + 0 and
13 + 6 weeks, using transabdominal and transvaginal
ultrasonography. The majority of patients were referred

translucency (NT) thickness, the median maternal age
was, however, 35 (range, 15–46) years, and 53.8% of the
