4D Ultrasounds -Advantages During Pregnancy

 

If you are pregnant, your obstetrician will surely do a 4d Ultrasounds scanning of your womb. Do you have any idea what this scanning is all about? It is basically the newest technology that allows the doctor to see live action images of the baby inside the womb. Such scanning will help the obstetricians to know a lot of things about the unborn child, like -

1. The age of the fetus

2. The developmental stage of the fetus

3. Check for twin fetus

4. Detect problem in the uterus or in any portion of the reproductive system

5. Detect placental abnormalities and position of the fetus

6. Spot abnormal bleeding

7. Detect ectopic pregnancies

8. Find fibroids and ovarian tumors

Won't you love to see the development of the baby in the womb? With the latest 4d Ultrasounds technology you can actually see the baby and its movement in specific stages of pregnancy (generally 24 to 34 weeks of pregnancy). It is the ideal time for monitoring the development of the child as the baby is developed enough to resemble an infant. During this period, there is also enough space left in the placental sac to allow the fetus to show some movement. It helps a mother and a child to bond with each other in a better way.

Factors affecting 4d Ultrasounds imaging

There are certain factors that determine the clarity of the child's image. Following are certain factors that affect the quality of 4d Ultrasounds imaging:

Amniotic fluid - It is the fluid that surrounds the baby in the mother's womb. The sound waves used in the technology travels through this fluid. As sound travels better in a medium, if there is less amniotic fluid in the placenta, you won't be able to see a clear image of the fetus.

Placenta - If the placenta is around the baby's face, you might not be able to get a clear image of the face. This is because, the sound waves used in 4d Ultrasounds is incapable to penetrate the placenta properly.

Apart from these vital factors there are also reasons like the size of the mother (whether she is fat or lean) and the position of the baby that affect the effectiveness of Ultrasounds imaging.
