The biophysical profile (BPP) is a non-invasive prenatal test that uses ultrasound to assess the well-being of a fetus. It is more detailed than an ultrasound for fetal anomalies, which only looks for structural abnormalities. The BPP also includes an assessment of fetal movement, breathing, and heart rate.
