Fetal Screening
Provides crucial information, helping expectant parents to make well-informed decisions about the course of the pregnancy
Ultrasound anomaly scans and non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) are two important prenatal screening methods used to assess the health and development of a fetus.
Both ultrasound anomaly scan and NIPT play essential roles in prenatal screening, each offering distinct benefits. NIPT provides early and accurate screening for chromosomal abnormalities without posing risks to the fetus, while the ultrasound anomaly scan gives a detailed view of the fetus’s physical development, helping to detect structural issues. Together, they enhance the ability to monitor and ensure fetal health during pregnancy.
Fetal screening can provide invaluable information to expectant parents and healthcare providers, allowing them to make informed decisions about the pregnancy and prepare for the birth of a child with special needs if necessary.
