As expected, the most highly desired appointments do fill up quickly. Yes, appointments are required and should be made as soon as possible. Many expectant mothers come in two to four times to see their baby's growth.Ĭan a 3D/4D/HD Live ultrasound take the place on an ultrasound from my doctor’s office?Ībsolutely not! Women seeking an elective prenatal ultrasound must already be receiving prenatal care with a healthcare provider and have already undergone a medical, diagnostic ultrasound to confirm their due date, screen for fetal anomalies, and to diagnose any other pregnancy related issues. The ideal timeframe for performing these ultrasounds is the 26th through the 32nd week. The question you need to answer first is, what stage of you baby would you want to see? 3D/4D/HD Live ultrasounds can be taken anytime during your pregnancy. When is the optimal time to come in for a viewing? With a 4D ultrasound, these 3D images are continuously connected, creating live motion. With HD Live, the 4D image is now using fetal realistic view - making the image even clearer and more realistic. With a 3D ultrasound, you will be able to see your baby's cute little fingers and toes. 3D ultrasounds create depth providing more surface details. Most hospitals and clinics will use these black and white prints.Ī 3D ultrasound is a three dimensional view of your baby, captured as a photo or sonogram. Generally these sonograms are displayed and printed in black and white. This is the two dimensional picture created through an ultrasound. According to The National Institute of Health, ultrasound does not produce ionizing radiation and is considered a very safe procedure for both the mother and the fetus. Our technologically advanced machines will take numerous two dimensional images and compile them into one three dimensional image. The machine displays distances and intensities of the echoes on the screen, forming a two dimensional image. The sounds (echoes) are electronically changed into pictures/images. The reflected waves are picked up by the probe and relayed to the machine. Ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves to reflect off internal body parts.
