Similarities in developmental biology between human and nonhuman primates have resulted in the use of macaque species as models in perinatal research. Studies have frequently included invasive surgical procedures or may have required "blind" injections. Several techniques have been established in human subjects using ultrasound as a guide such as cordocentesis and fetal therapy. These techniques have been applied to the nonhuman primate laboratory setting, which significantly decreases the risk of pregnancy loss due to experimental intervention.
人类和非人类灵长类动物在发育生物学上的相似性，使得猕猴物种被用作围产期研究的模型。研究常常包括侵入性外科手术，或者可能需要“盲目”注射。在人类受试者中已经建立了几种以超声为引导的技术，如脐带穿刺术和胎儿治疗。这些技术已应用于非人类灵长类动物的实验室环境，这显著降低了因实验干预导致流产的风险。
