Your screen is positive for trisomy 21 for which NIPT should be done for confirmation as dual marker is a screening test only. Also in USG there is high resistance in uterine arteries which is a risk for developing preeclampsia and related complications in later pregnancy. You should be started on medication for this

Nipt is also a screening test though with high sensitivity
