A fetus with an increased nuchal translucency at 11 to 14 weeks gestation is at risk for aneuploidy, genetic syndromes, structural anomalies, and intrauterine fetal demise in both single and twin gestations. In addition to referral to genetics for counseling and consideration of diagnostic genetic testing, a detailed anatomic survey and fetal echocardiogram are indicated in the second trimester to screen for congenital malformations and major heart defects. The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed annually by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and revision include an extensive analysis of current medical literature from peer reviewed journals and the application of well-established methodologies (RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation or GRADE) to rate the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures for specific clinical scenarios. In those instances where evidence is lacking or equivocal, expert opinion may supplement the available evidence to recommend imaging or treatment.
