What is 4D ultrasound?

"4D" is shorthand for "four-dimensional" – the fourth dimension being time. As far as ultrasound is concerned, 4D Ultrasound is the latest ultrasound technology and it is exclusive to GE. 4D Ultrasound takes three-dimensional ultrasound images and adds the element of time to the process. The result: Live Action images of your unborn child or of any internal anatomy.  more

4D Ultrasound (also known as 3D/4D Ultrasound) is the most advanced technology used by sonographers during pregnancy to evaluate the unborn fetus.This process provides physicians and expecting mothers with the best images of the fetus available. For many years, obstetricians have used 2D ultrasound technology during pregnancies but are quickly shifting to the upgraded technology.  more

"4D" is shorthand for "four-dimensional" - the fourth dimension being time. As far as ultrasound is concerned, 4D Ultrasound is the latest ultrasound technology and it is exclusive to GE. 4D Ultrasound takes three-dimensional ultrasound images and adds the element of time to the process. The result: live-action images of your unborn child. We use the state-of-the-art GE Voluson 730 to complete all ultrasound examinations, as seen in the GE television commercial and many printed articles from around the world. This machine is the best 2D, 3D and 4D ultrasound machine available. Please note, many organizations claim to use "state-of-the-art" equipment, when in fact they use older or inferior technology.

4D ultrasound simply means 3D in “real” time. Also known as “live motion,” it is just that—the baby moving—captured on video. A 3D image in movement. Another dimension (time) is added to capture what is actually happening. That is how you are able to watch your baby kicking and stretching, smiling and yawning. Think of 4D as a movie or video, and 3D as the still image or the photograph.  more

4D ultrasound is the latest in ultrasound technology, adding the fourth dimension, time, to a 3D image. 4D Ultrasound takes multiple 2-dimensional images, creates a 3-dimensional image and then adds the element of time to the process. This results in 3D live action images of your unborn child.  more

This Ultrasound technology adds the fourth dimension of motion to the 3D image, resulting in a moving 3D image of your baby. IS 4D ULTRASOUND SAFE? Absolutely! 4D ultrasound utilizes sound waves to look inside the body, just the same way as ordinary 2D ultrasound. 4D ultrasound is just as safe as 2D ultrasound and uses the exact same intensity of ultrasonic waves as the conventional 2D ultrasound. It is the software component of this advanced system that creates the amazing 3D 4D images in real time. Our guidelines dictate the system to be used in the Obstetric Application Mode. This mode is capped by the manufacturer (Philips) below the FDA limits. For more information please click on the link below: http://www.pregnancybliss.com/4dbabyscan.  more

Up to quite recently, all ultrasound was 2D – meaning only in 2 planes. This is the typical picture we all grew accustomed to. With better technology, the ultrasound started to have the capability to image in 3 planes, which looks like a photograph of the baby. Recently, technology added the 4th dimension – MOVEMENT.  more

The latest ultrasound technology adds the fourth dimension of time to a 3D image resulting in a moving 3D image of your unborn child.  more

The latest Ultrasound technology adds the fourth dimension of time to a 3D scan resulting in a moving 3D image of your unborn child, its first home movie.  more

4D" is shorthand for "four-dimensional"- the fourth dimension being 'time'. 3D ultrasound takes multiple 2-dimensional ultrasound images, creates a 3-dimensional ultrasound. 3D images put back to back in a fast manner to create 4D - the real time- ultrasound movie of the baby with incredible details.  more
