Abstract:
The core technologies in prenatal diagnosis are fetal ultrasound examination and genetic testing. This article discusses the advantages, advancements, and complementarity of fetal ultrasound and genetic testing. It emphasizes the selection of appropriate prenatal diagnostic techniques based on the characteristics, testing efficacy, and health-economic benefits of different technologies. By maximizing the individual strengths and complementary features of fetal ultrasound and genetic testing, the overall level of prenatal diagnosis can be continuously improved.
