neck region
Explanation:
NB could be "Nackenbereich" - this is a critical region for prenatal ultrasound assessments (pterygium = evidence of Down syndrome, short neck = evidence of Turner syndrome).
However, this is no standard abbreviation, hence low CL.

Nasenbein/nasal bone


Explanation:
NB steht hier fuer Nasenbein. Die Laenge des Nasenknochens kann ein Anzeichen fuer eine Trisomie sein.
Ich habe keinen Ultraschallbericht auf Englich gefunden, um zu sehen welche Abkuerzung verwendet wird.
Es gibt aber z.B. FNBL = fetal nasal bone length

agree  Sabine Akabayov, PhD: I might have been mislead by "Gesicht" and thought it's the nose, which is an indication for Down syndrome as well.
7 mins
  -> I am really not sure it's not the nasal bone - probably worth a translator's note to the client
agree  Sonja Poeltl: That was my first thought as well. (Nape area)
