Regarding NT scan
Hello Doctor, I recently had my NT scan at 12 weeks 1 day. My report states that the Nasal Bone is 'Just Ossified'. My NT value is 1.2 mm and all other parameters, growth, and other bones are perfectly normal.
The doctor has suggested a follow-up scan in 1 week to check the nasal bone again. I have a few doubts regarding this:
What exactly does 'Just Ossified' mean? Does it mean the nasal bone is 'Absent' or lagging, or is it normal for this gestational age?
Is there a good chance that the nasal bone will become fully ossified/normal in the 1-week follow-up scan?
I am very anxious. Kindly guide me
