    Ultrasound can be used to measure intracranial translucency (IT) between 11-13 weeks of pregnancy to detect spina bifida. A study of over 15,000 pregnancies found that an absent or shortened IT measurement had a high correlation with spina bifida in the fetus. IT measurement is a useful first-line assessment that can identify fetuses that require more detailed ultrasound examination and counseling.
