Non-invasive prenatal testing is not a substitute for first trimester ultrasound screening [PDF]

Swiss Medical Weekly
The ultrasound examination in the first trimester is a crucial tool in prenatal diagnostics. Its primary aim is the early detection of fetal structural anomalies with the option to assess the risk for the common fetal trisomies (in Switzerland: “Ersttrimestertest”). The latter is achieved by combining ultrasound data with biochemical blood tests.
