Q: What is the difference between screening test and a diagnostic test?''
A: A screening test only detects if the chances of you or your baby suffering from a problem are more than normal. If a screening test is abnormal, it does not mean that there is definitely a problem. A diagnostic test has to be then carried out to confirm the diagnosis. For example, the first-trimester screening is a screening test while a chorionic villus sampling is a diagnostic test.
