4D Ultrasound What is 4D ultrasound?
The 4D scan is a dynamic recording of your baby ultrasound recorded in 3D scan. So you can see your baby moving, doing all the things babies do in the womb; things until now you never knew about!  

Wat is die verskil tussen 3d en 4d?
4D sonars stel die verskil tussen video en stil fotografie bekend.  Met ander woorde, die 4d sonar neem ‘n lewendige aksie af.


What determines the quality of a 4D ultrasound?

Timing - The best time to do a 4D scan is between 28 and 34 weeks.

Fetal position - The baby's position can affect imaging. The baby can sometimes have its arms over its face or have its face against the placenta or uterine wall, making imaging of the face difficult.

Fluid - There must be fluid around the baby. The more fluid there is the clearer the images are.

Maternal tissue - An increased amount of maternal tissue can reduce the image quality.

Identifying the sex is usually easy but occasionally the baby may have its legs crossed or there may be umbilical cord lying in the area of interest. You can usually start identifying the sex during the second half of the second trimester.

Twins - The best time to do a 4D scan on twins is between 24 and 26 weeks.
