3D /4D Ultrasound

 3D and 4D Ultrasounds use sound waves to create an image of your baby in your womb.  3D and 4D ultrasound are optional and not standard prenatal tests. Parents often want a 3D and 4D ultrasound done to see their baby’s face for the first time. However, doctors may request for 3D and 4D because they can show certain birth defects, such as cleft lip that might not show up on standard ultrasound.

           Studies suggest that 3D and 4D ultrasounds are safe. Plus the images can help doctors spot a problem with your baby and make it easier for them to explain it to parents

3D Ultrasound

3D image provides expanded information of the structures being examined by displaying  the additional third plane (coronal plane) and a myriad of dimensional imaging.

4D ULTRASOUND

4D imaging is now commonly used to differentiate normal from abnormal fetal gestures; evaluation of fetal sleep and awakening, fetal motion, fetal reactivity and tonicity and fetal breathing.
