Definitions and examples of 3D and 4D Ultrasounds are presented in two views.
3-D ultrasound can provide a static, three-dimensional images of what is scanned. The transducer records data of the area and the computer processes these images and presents them as an image that takes on a more life-like appearance.
Besides the visual difference, volumetric measurements are often more accurate and certain abnormalities or the absence of a certain abnormality can often be obtained.
More recently, 4-D or dynamic 3-D scanners are being used. These computers have the ability to record process the data so the 3-D images can be seen in motion. 4-D ultrasounds can present the movements of a baby before birth.
Most experts at his point do not consider 3-D and 4-D ultrasounds will become a quick replacement over conventional 2-D scans. Right now they act as an additional tool, much like doppler. Most diagnosis is still being made with 2-D scans.
But let's be real. Seeing a baby ultrasound in 3D rather than the 2D fuzzy black and white images makes it seem a lot more personal, doesn't it?
3D ultrasound of baby. Notice the hand seemingly holding on to it's umbilical cord.
This 3D ultrasound was taken at 27 weeks. Learning to suck it's thumb already?
This 3D ultrasound already shows the characteristics of the baby's face.
