3D and 4D Ultrasound Fetal Images Thrill Expectant Parents
For many expectant parents, nine months is just too long to wait. Anxious for the
birth of their child, many parents-to be are using progressive 3D and 4D ultrasound
technology to bring images of their unborn baby to life.
From a yawn to a stretch, a blink or a wave, three-dimensional and four-dimensional
ultrasounds allow expectant parents to take a peek at their baby's first real-time
movements inside the womb. Equally exciting is the ability to see what the baby is
going to look like before he or she is born.
"These incredible ultrasound images help create a positive emotional bond between
expectant parents and their baby prior to the birth," said Kathy Dimmick, co-founder
and CEO of United Imaging Partners, the largest, fastest growing and most respected
group of 3D/4D ultrasound providers with more than 70 locations nationwide. "The
pleasure of seeing your baby's face for the first time is not only miraculous, but
priceless as well."
Using the ultra-modern GE Voluson 730 PRO Ultrasound machines, activities of the
baby inside the womb can be seen clearly, which usually is difficult or impossible
to identify on 2D scanning. All scans at United Imaging Partner facilities are
limited to no more that 30 minutes in duration. Typically the scans are for 15-20
minutes.
Ultrasound has been used safely in obstetrics for the past 35 years. Approximately
250 million fetal ultrasounds are performed per year in the United States. Research
shows that 3D and 4D ultrasound scans are safe for the mother and the fetus. Women
seeking an elective prenatal ultrasound at United Imaging Partner locations must
already be under the care of an obstetrician or nurse/midwife and have already
completed a medical level two diagnostic ultrasound, and provide verification of
this. The optimum time for an elective ultrasound scan is between 24-34 weeks of
pregnancy.
