Özet

Screening tests and genetic ultrasonography have great importance in pregnancy management and follow-up. First-trimester screening, second trimester screening and genetic ultrasonography have widespread use globally. Although, some obstetricians still insist on using the second trimester screening as a first line choice, first-trimester screening with ultrasound including nuchal thickness, nasal bone, tricuspid regurgitation, ductus venosus blood flow and biochemical tests are getting more pronounced rather than the second trimester screening test in the upcoming literature. In this paper, we have aimed to review the new approaches and current screening methods in pregnancy.
