Prenatal Ultrasounds
What are Prenatal Diagnostic Invasive Procedures?
Prenatal diagnostic invasive procedures are advanced diagnostic tests used during pregnancy to detect genetic or chromosomal conditions in the baby. These procedures involve collecting a small sample from the placenta or amniotic fluid for detailed analysis. They are usually recommended when screening tests show a higher risk or when there is a medical indication that requires further evaluation.
