The procedure described is called amniocentesis, where a needle is inserted through the abdominal wall to obtain a sample of amniotic fluid from the uterus during the 14th week of pregnancy or later. This fluid contains fetal cells and can be tested for genetic disorders. Fetoscopy involves inserting a thin fiber-optic tube into the uterus to visualize the fetus directly. Ultrafast MRI and preimplantation genetic diagnosis are not relevant to the procedure described.
