Welcome to another enlightening session of the Fetal Medicine Forum! In this episode, Dr. Khurshid Alam, renowned Fetal Medicine Specialist, discusses the evolving role of fetal soft markers in the context of cell-free fetal DNA (CFFDNA) testing. As non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) becomes more prevalent, understanding the significance of soft markers remains crucial for comprehensive prenatal care.
Join Dr. Alam as he explores the relevance of fetal soft markers-subtle ultrasound findings that may indicate an increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities or other conditions-in the era of advanced genetic screening. He provides a detailed overview of the most common soft markers, such as nuchal translucency, echogenic bowel, and choroid plexus cysts, and their implications for fetal health.
Through insightful case studies and clinical examples, Dr. Alam illustrates how to interpret these markers in conjunction with CFFDNA results, emphasizing the importance of a balanced approach that integrates traditional ultrasound findings with modern genetic testing. He also discusses the benefits and limitations of both methods, guiding healthcare professionals on how to best utilize these tools to optimize prenatal diagnosis and patient counseling.
This session is invaluable for healthcare providers looking to stay updated on the latest advancements in prenatal screening and diagnosis, as well as for expectant parents seeking a deeper understanding of the technologies used to assess fetal health. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from Dr. Khurshid Alam's extensive expertise and gain practical insights into the integration of fetal soft markers and CFFDNA testing.
Join us for this comprehensive and thought-provoking discussion aimed at enhancing prenatal care and improving outcomes for expectant families.
