ultrasonic examination
Ultrasound is one of the most commonly used methods to evaluate fetal spinal development. Ultrasound can observe the spinal structure, bone morphology and joint activity of the fetus. Doctors can evaluate the integrity and symmetry of the spine through ultrasonic images.
amniocentesis
Amniocentesis is a method to obtain fetal cells or amniotic fluid samples, which can be used to detect chromosomal abnormalities and genetic diseases. In some cases, amniocentesis can also provide information about the development of fetal spine.
Noninvasive prenatal genetic testing
This is a new technology. By extracting fetal DNA from pregnant women's blood, non-invasive prenatal genetic testing can be carried out. This detection method can be used to screen chromosomal abnormalities and some genetic diseases, including diseases related to spinal development.
a regular health checkup
Regular prenatal examination is one of the important means to ensure fetal health. Doctors will assess the growth and development of the fetus through palpation and auscultation, including the development of the spine.
Comprehensive evaluation method
It should be noted that the above methods are for reference only, and the specific judgment needs to be comprehensively evaluated in combination with the professional experience of doctors and other relevant inspection results. If you have any concerns about the development of fetal spine, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor in time for detailed evaluation and diagnosis.
