Hi there, If NIPT shows high risk then there is something to worry about. Please get a confirmation test done. That is Amniocentesis. Contact a fetal medicine expert and follow. NT NB scan is accurate too but this scan sees only two criterias. And it tells only about risk . It's not a definite test for detecting the problem. That's why dual or triple marker are mandatory with the scan .

See NIPT positive mean you might have risk for anomaly. NT scan is only corroborative.
