NT NB scan and Dual marker test
NT NB scan shows normal but Dual marker test for T21 shows intermediate risk.
Kindly help to understand more about Dual marker report. My Doctor says it's nothing to worry much. But there is something still.
I am in 15 weeks of pregnancy.

The scan may be normal
But the dual test if shows risk needs further evaluation in the form of aminocentesis or nipt
This test is for mental retardation screening
The intermediate risk should not be ignored
The scan does not confirm mental well being
The scan is Incomplete
Does not mention the parameters of nasal bone nor nuchal thickness
