I have an Ontario NT ID number

Follow these instructions if you are a sonographer or a physician who has an Ontario NT ID number and has been performing NT measurements and submitting them to the Ontario MMS labs for first trimester screening. If you have never performed NT measurements, please register as a “new sonographer.”

Step 1: Register with PSO at BORN Ontario as an Existing Sonographer 

Register with PSO at BORN Ontario by filling out and sending in an “existing sonographer” registration form. Complete all of the required fields. You will receive a confirmation email to the address you provided on the form after you submit your request.

Existing Sonographer Registration Form

Fill out this registration form if you are a sonographer or a physician who has an Ontario NT ID number and has been performing NT measurements and submitting them to the Ontario MMS labs for first trimester screening. If you have never performed NT measurements, please register as a “new sonographer.”

Please note that we will not share your contact information without your consent.

By submitting this registration form, you are agreeing to the following statement:

  • “I certify that the information provided on this registration form is true and correct and that I am making this application on my own behalf.”
  • “J'atteste que les reseignements fournis dans ce formulaire d'inscription sont exacts et que je présente cette demande por moi-même.”

Tips for successfully completing your registration form

  • Please enter an email address that you check regularly and can access from anywhere.
  • Please enter a phone number where we can contact you directly (including a direct extension if applicable).
  • Please enter your primary place of employment under the organization heading (i.e., the institution where you work the most hours).
  • Please enter the name of your direct supervisor (e.g., charge sonographer, quality assurance advisor, medical director, or reporting physician) at your primary place of employment.
  • Your prenatal screening ID number is the U/S operator code that you record on patients' first trimester screening blood work requisitions after you complete an NT ultrasound. For most sonographers, your prenatal screening ID number is the same as your FMF UK ID number; however, for some sonographers, these numbers are different. This depends on your date of registration with the Ontario MMS labs.
    • If you do not know your FMF UK ID number, please contact Fetal Medicine Foundation.
    • If you do not know your prenatal screening ID number, please contact Prenatal Screening Ontario.
  • Please choose the prenatal screening lab where your primary place of employment sends all of their prenatal screening samples. 

Step 2: Log in to the BORN Information System (BIS) and access your personalized NT performance distribution 

Please allow up to four weeks for the Ontario MMS labs to process your registration request. Once processed, you will get two emails to the email address that you included on your “existing sonographer” registration form. One will contain your BORN login and one will contain your BORN password. Please check your junk mail folder because sometimes these emails filter into this folder.

You are now able to log in to the BIS, to update your contact details in our system, and to access your personalized NT performance distribution. 

Do not share your Ontario NT ID number

PSO/BORN and the Ontario MMS labs collect NT and CRL measurement data from patients' eFTS requisitions and record it under your Ontario NT ID number. This data is added to your personalized NT performance distribution and is used to assess your ongoing NT measurement accuracy.

The Ontario MMS labs use the information from sonographers' personalized NT performance distributions to generate patients' prenatal screening results. Prenatal screening results generated using data that is not representative of a sonographers' individual NT practice are skewed.

NT ID number sharing reduces the accuracy of patients' prenatal screening tests!

It is a privilege to perform NT scans and your personalized NT performance distribution reflects the quality of your work. Maintain the integrity of your distribution by making sure that you are the only one contributing to it.

Please protect your patients by protecting your Ontario NT ID number and your personalized NT performance distribution.

If you have any questions about the registration process or about Ontario's NTQA program, please email PSO at BORN Ontario or call 1-833-351-6490.
