The Nuchal Translucency Program is funded by the Australian Government's Department of Health & Ageing

What's New?

New software 2006 – Version 2.0.3_43

The new software based on the most recently available research findings is different from the previous version in the following respects:

1. The maternal age related risk is slightly different

2. Improved Likelihood Ratio (LR) for nuchal translucency

3. Improved Biochemical medians for free beta hCG (not for PAPP-A) and consequently different MoM

4. Changes in the truncation for the LR for NT and NT plus Biochemistry

5. Inclusion of tricuspid regurgitation (This feature is not activated in Australia )

As a result of these improvements, the risks given by the new software are inevitably different from those given by the previous version.

For more details of what's new in this version please click here to download a copy in Acrobat PDF format or contact the Melbourne office .

Nasal Bone accreditation and Tricuspid Regurgitation

Included in the new software is the calculation of likelihood ratios for nasal bone absence or presence and tricuspid regurgitation. There is a moratorium in Australia for the Nasal Bone and Tricuspid Regurgitation

The Reference and Assessors Committees continue to discuss the implementation of an accreditation process for the nasal bone assessment and tricuspid regurgitation.
