Third Trimester usually lasts from 28 weeks to 40 weeks. This Trimester could be psychologically more challenging because of expected changes in parenthood and giving actual birth. 3d 4d ultrasound sessions are more desirable because of the emotional anticipation of the newborn and realistic expectations of seeing the baby as it is already out in the real world. At this stage of pregnancy, the baby’s facial features all formed, and it would continue to gain more fat on the cheeks. The face is more round, and the baby looks completely real. The ultrasound system adds natural colors to the ..read more

Second Trimester It is a time between 14 weeks to 27 weeks of your pregnancy. At this time, many expectant parents want to see the baby during 4d ultrasound sessions at imaging centers. Some parents-to-be decided to have 2d ultrasound sessions at the beginning of the second trimester to find out the gender and 3d 4d ultrasound sessions in later weeks of the second trimester. The baby’s entire body could be seen usually until 22 – 23 weeks of pregnancy. After that, the baby is “too big” to fit into the ultrasound machine’s screen. However, the experienced sonographer would show your baby’s legs ..read more

Pregnant women could be at a higher risk for Covid 19 compared to the general population. CDC advises that certain underlying medical conditions might increase the risk for developing a severe illness from a coronavirus. Also, there is a higher chance of preterm birth or delivering the baby before 37 weeks. Therefore, pregnant women need to understand how to protect themselves from being infected with Covid 19. Increased Risk of Severe Illness Respiratory viruses such as Covid 19 can infect pregnant women easier because of the changes in the body the pregnancy causes. That could lead to ho ..read more

Images captured using a 4D scanner suggest that unborn babies exhibit facial expressions as a reflex in preparation for birth, Professor Stuart Campbell said. For some time 3d 4d ultrasounds have shown that babies smile, yawn, cry and blink inside the womb. Professor Campbell, who has observed such expressions since he first started using 3d 4d ultrasound, said it was previously believed babies learned to smile after birth by copying their mothers. “That may indicate the baby’s calm, trouble-free existence in the womb and the relatively traumatic first few weeks after birth, when the baby is r ..read more

3D Scans, even on advanced ultrasound systems, could produce poor results. Images appeared to be blurry and non-usable for a visual evaluation of primary organs and also seeing a baby’s face.   The accuracy of the ultrasound scan depends on many factors such as skills of the ultrasound technician, proper training, right protocol of the examination, women body mass index (BMI), time of the session, quality of the ultrasound equipment, and a fetus position.   The most common reasons for poor ultrasonic visualization during a second-trimester, with all other factors to be eq ..read more

In the previous blog, we were discussing the safety of ultrasound sonograms, the quality of ultrasound equipment, and the qualifications of sonographers. Assume that you have already booked an appointment with a licensed technician, and the studio is using advanced 3d 4d ultrasound equipment. Can pregnant women trust a sonographer in 3d imaging center with their health? Some people would say that a technician who performs a session for non-diagnostic purposes would not reflect on the condition of a pregnant woman. They say that a technician would only pay attention to the quality of images and ..read more

Many factors influence the quality of ultrasound images. However, before discussing the quality of ultrasound images, it is essential to know the ultrasound physics of how those images are produced. According to ultrasonography, sound pulses penetrate through material tissues or media. Reflections from the objects in the media return to the transducer and appear as images on computer screens, recording devices, or printers.  The source of sound waves is the ultrasound machine and a transducer. Sound waves basic. Parameters are characteristics of a sound wave. There are seven paramet ..read more

When 3d 4d ultrasound imaging centers first opened for business about 15-20 years ago, there were little questions for moms and dads-to-be about having those keepsakes. The difference between the traditional black and white 2d ultrasound images and color three-dimensional 3d images benefited a new technology. The pictures of the unborn babies looked so real that parents wanted to have a photo op right away. As time progressed, more and more parents became involved in the process of getting 3d keepsakes. People also wanted to know if 3d ultrasound is safe. Few critics, mostly from medical docto ..read more
