What You Should Know About 3D/4D Ultrasound

Like most pregnant women, you can't wait until that next ultrasound when you get to see your baby again! Over the past several years, ultrasound technology has advanced in ways beyond belief. Now available for expecting parents is the miracle of 3D/4D ultrasound imaging. But how is it different from the flat, black and white 2D images you usually get? Unlike traditional 2D imaging which only takes a look at the baby from one angle (thus creating the "flat" image), 3D imaging takes a view of the baby from three different angles. Software then takes these three images and merges them together to produce a mind blowing three dimensional image of your precious baby. Because the fourth dimension is time and movement, with 4D you are able to watch the live movements of your baby in 3D. You may catch him sucking his thumb or her playing with her feet.But there are several factors which are important to a successful 3D/4D ultrasound. The most critical factor to obtaining a good look at your baby is how much space there is remaining in your womb. Unlike 2D ultrasound which sees through everything (this is why you can see the organs and skeletal structure) in 3D everything becomes "solid". Therefore whatever is in front of the baby, (i.e. the placenta or umbilical chord), acts as a barrier to seeing the baby's face. So the more room left, the better the chance of seeing a clear view of the baby. FOR MORE INFORMATION CLICK BELOW...
