Maternal Fetal medicine
The field of maternal-fetal medicine has advanced significantly with the introduction of new technologies that enhance the care and monitoring of maternal and fetal health during pregnancy. Originally known as perinatal medicine, it was renamed due to its growth over the past 20 years. Maternal-fetal medicine plays a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of both the mother and fetus, focusing on their health and development. Recent technologies, such as prenatal screening for cell-free fetal DNA in maternal circulation, have emerged with advancements in genomics. This technique, along with chromosomal microarrays, not only detects aneuploidies but also identifies microduplications and microdeletions, making it a valuable tool in prenatal care.
