Dear parents to be,

in our DEGUM Stage III centre for prenatal diagnosis (DEGUM = German Society for Ultrasound in Medicine, www.degum.de), we specialise in ultrasound examinations and other advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures during pregnancy including:

• First trimester screening

• Non invasive prenatal test, NIPT, cell-free DNA test, e.g. Harmony Test®

• Screening for pre-eclampsia

• High-resolution ultrasound, malformation scan, DEGUM II / III ultrasound

• Fetal echocardiography

• Dopplersonography

• 3D / 4D sonography

• Chorionic villus sampling

• Amniocentesis

• Cordocentesis, fetal bood sampling.

In most cases, the results of prenatal diagnostic examinations are normal and can allay fears and set expectant parents' minds at rest. If abnormal findings occur, these can be further clarified as appropriate in close cooperation with experts in related fields (e.g., genetics, neonatal medicine, pediatric cardiology, pediatric radiology, and pediatric surgery), and necessary treatment initiated.

We offer competent advice and treatment, using the latest medical equipment (high-end ultrasound systems by GE and Philips) and place particular emphasis on individual care in a pleasant atmosphere.

In this overview, we would like to provide you with information about important aspects of prenatal examinations which go beyond the scope of standard pregnancy care. We would be delighted to answer any remaining questions with you personally.

We look forward to your visit.
