output: hi welcome to icliniq com it scan is just a screening test to pick up cases of trisomy nuchal translucency of 2 my nasal bone seen and normal blood flow in ductus means the chance of trisomy is very low to confirm this doctor has done a double marker test they too are within normal limits these values are extrapolated over a graph of general values as mom multiples of median both the markers are normal in your case only risk factors which have given a risk of 81 is your age any ratio 250 has to be further investigated which unfortunately cannot be altered when the values are graphed over your age they fall at high risk but do not worry so the ideal next step is to undergo an amniocentesis at 14 16 weeks of pregnancy and genetic analysis can give you a diagnostic result I feel it will be normal just relax and wait for that normal result you can definitely continue the pregnancy I hope this helps
