Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The procedure described involves the use of a powerful magnetic field and radio images, which is characteristic of fetal MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). Amniocentesis involves the collection of amniotic fluid for genetic testing, noninvasive prenatal diagnosis involves using a blood test to analyze fetal DNA in the mother's bloodstream, and ultrasound sonography utilizes sound waves to create images of the fetus. None of these procedures involve a powerful magnetic field or radio images.
