Antalya 4D Ultrasound
Four-Dimensional Ultrasonography (4D Ultrasound) is an extension of traditional 2D ultrasound that instantly combines a 3D image of the baby for a more realistic and detailed view.
How does 4D Ultrasound Work?
- A 2D ultrasound probe is inserted into the uterus, sending high-frequency sound waves.
- These waves return from the baby and are processed on the computer to create a 3D image.
- These images, which are taken in REAL TIME, are combined to create a 4D video that includes the baby's movements.
Benefits of 4D Ultrasound:
- It provides a clearer view of the baby's facial features, fingers and toes, facial expressions and movements.
- It makes it possible to follow the baby's development in more detail and to diagnose possible anomalies earlier.
- It offers expectant parents the opportunity to establish a more emotional bond with their baby.
At which weeks of pregnancy should 4D Ultrasound be performed?
Four Dimensional Ultrasonography can be performed at any stage of pregnancy
However, from the 18th week of pregnancy, a more distinct image can be obtained.
The ideal imaging time is between 22nd and 24th weeks.
The baby's face is more prominent in this period and the amount of amniotic fluid is sufficient.
Are There Risks of 4D Ultrasound?
Ultrasonography is a device that works with sound waves. Sound waves do not cause any harm to the baby and the mother.
Should 4D Ultrasonography be Performed in Every Pregnancy?
With the development of technology, there have been good developments in the features of ultrasonography devices. Of course, we obstetricians follow these technological developments with interest and use the latest 4D ultrasonography devices in our clinic.4D Ultrasonography allows the baby's formations to be seen much more clearly in the early weeks. The organs of the child such as hands, arms, legs, feet, fingers, lips can be seen with 4D ultrasonography from early weeks. As gynecologists, we actually perform organ scans with 2D ultrasonography. It is difficult for pregnant women and their relatives to make sense of 2D ultrasonography images. However, with four-dimensional ultrasonography, they can see the tissues and organs of the baby more clearly and establish a stronger emotional bond with their babies. Four-dimensional ultrasonography can be performed on any pregnant woman!
