4D-5D Ultrasound
If you are expecting, it can be hard to navigate the many different types of ultrasounds that can be done during pregnancy.
Primescan Imaging is here to clarify the distinctions among 2D, 3D, 4D, HD, and 5D ultrasounds, as they all utilize soundwaves to generate an image of your developing baby, with the final output varying significantly based on your chosen definition type.
2D Ultrasounds
A 2D ultrasound, the most prevalent type of ultrasound, generates a monochromatic image displaying the baby's skeletal structure and revealing internal organs. It is primarily employed for assessing the baby's well-being. As the name suggests, all 2D images lack dimensionality and appear flat.
3D Ultrasounds
Similar to 2D ultrasounds, 3D ultrasounds employ soundwaves to generate an image of the fetus within the womb. Nonetheless, in contrast to the two-dimensional representation provided by a 2D ultrasound, a 3D ultrasound produces the illusion of a three-dimensional depiction of the baby. This affords expectant parents the opportunity to observe their baby's facial features, as opposed to merely the contour of the face.
4D Ultrasounds
4D ultrasounds generate a three-dimensional image while offering the advantage of simulating a real-time video experience. Through this ultrasound technology, it becomes possible to observe moments such as your baby smiling or yawning in the womb, as it assembles numerous images into a dynamic video sequence.
HD, HD Live, 5D Ultrasounds
HD and HD Live (also known as 5D) ultrasounds represent the latest breakthrough in ultrasound technology, enabling us to obtain remarkably clearer and sharper images, characterized by enhanced definition and superior resolution.
