Ultrasound in High Resolution.

Ultrasound is the main tool for the detection of congenital anomalies, allowing the diagnosis of 80% of malformations.
These ultrasounds are performed routinely in weeks 12 to 14, 19 to 22 and 30 to 32. The first two ultrasounds are complementary and their reliability can reach more than 95% if they are associated with hormonal analyzes. In certain situations, an initial morphological ultrasound is also performed in week 16. The ultrasound in weeks 30 to 32 allows us, in addition to the morphological study, to assess the growth by studying its measurements, weight and Doppler of the different vessels that indicate Fetal well-being

Amniocentesis.

The extracted liquid, between 15 and 20 ml., Is analyzed in the laboratory and allows early diagnosis of Down syndrome and other genetic alterations.
This test is usually done between weeks 15 and 17 of pregnancy.
