subject: The San Diego Ultrasound Gives You A Sneak Peek To Your New Baby! [print this page] There are many types of ultrasounds available these days including two dimensional, three dimensional, and four dimensional prenatal San Diego ultrasound, which are made to provide a proactive, positive bonding experience for the mother, father and family members with the unborn baby. Realistic surface images provide a connection between the parents and baby that can be beneficial to the whole family.
A routine ultrasound examination should have already been performed to assess the gestational age of the fetus and to evaluate for fetal anomalies, as well as the basic components of fetal anatomy.
San Diego ultrasound scans offer a non invasive, accurate diagnostic tool for assessing a pregnancy, checking for any problems, and obtaining information about the fetus. An ultrasound exam uses high frequency sound waves to scan a womans abdomen and pelvic cavity, creating a picture, also known as a sonogram, of the baby and placenta. It does not use X rays or other types of radiation that could harm a fetus, and may be used as early as the fifth week of pregnancy.
Three dimensional San Diego ultrasound has revolutionized ultrasound imaging in obstetrics. This technique allows the technician to capture multiple two dimensional images, and then combine them to create a three dimensional view with added depth and detail. These images can be more closely reviewed than traditional two dimensional images, which mean we are better able to assess both normal and abnormal fetuses. Viewing the three dimensional image is unlike the family two dimensional snowy looking ultrasound photos, as the pictures generated are much clearer. With three dimensional images, you can see the babys skin as well as the shape of the nose, mouth, etc. Using three dimensional imaging is extremely helpful when evaluating fetal anomalies including cleft lip and palate, ear and brain anomalies, spine anomalies and abnormal limbs, including clubfeet.
Speaking about four dimensional San Diego ultrasound is like three dimensional ultrasound with the element of real time added. This means that with four dimensional ultrasounds, you can observe moving images of the fetus. Although four dimensional ultrasounds provides lower resolution images than three dimensional, it is often used when we are unable to acquire clear three dimensional photographs because the fetus is moving around too much.
