- UltrasoundPrenatal testing is available for most important birth defects. When optimally performed and interpreted by experts, ultrasound can both "screen" for a variety of major defects and can also make a specific diagnosis. Therefore, ultrasound can be considered both a screening test for a number of abnormalities, and also a diagnostic test for some of those conditions. For example, at experienced centers, ultrasound can detect all significant spinal defects with no false positive readings and is therefore considered diagnostic for for significant spinal defects (spina bifida). Similarly, ultrasound can be diagnostic for a number of other structural defects including cleft lip/palate, significant clubfeet, body wall abnormalities, major urinary abnormalities, and major heart defects. For these and other major structural abnormalities, ultrasound is the best screening test and also a diagnostic test at experienced centers.
