Amniocentesis

Amniocentesis

Amniocentesis is a prenatal diagnostic test performed during the second trimester of pregnancy, usually between 15 to 20 weeks. In this procedure, a small amount of amniotic fluid — the protective fluid surrounding your baby — is collected using a fine needle under continuous ultrasound guidance. This fluid contains fetal cells that help detect chromosomal or genetic conditions, such as Down syndrome, thalassemia, or neural tube defects.

At Pixel Diagnostic Centre, Silchar, amniocentesis is performed with utmost precision and care using the advanced Samsung V8 ultrasound machine, ensuring safety, comfort, and accurate sample collection.
