Ultrasound is one of the screening tests that may be done in the first trimester to look for birth defects, such as Down syndrome. The first-trimester screening test uses ultrasound to measure the thickness of the skin at the back of the baby's neck.
What is an ultrasound? A prenatal ultrasound (also called a sonogram) is a noninvasive diagnostic test that uses sound waves to create a visual image of your baby, placenta, and uterus, as well as other pelvic organs. It allows your healthcare practitioner to gather valuable information about the progress of your pregnancy and your baby's health. During the test, an ultrasound technician (sonographer) transmits high-frequency sound waves through your uterus that bounce off your baby. A computer then translates the echoing sounds into video images that reveal your baby's shape, position, and movements.
