Why 4D Ultrasound Test is the Most Popular Pregnancy Scan?

Ultrasound tests/ sonograms are among the routine tests prescribed by a gynecologist during pregnancy. Sonograms are best ways to determine whether the growing fetus within a mother’s womb is safe and sound. Besides tracking trimester-based fetal growth pattern, ultrasound test can identify structural defects and genetic abnormalities, if any. Thus, the significance of ultrasound test is immense for healthy fetal development.

Advancement in medical sciences have unfurled some of the latest technologies in ultrasound technology. 2D ultrasound has given way to 3D and 4D ultrasound technologies. The last one has revolutionized pregnancy time checking of the fetus. Both docs and parents can catch upon the live action and movements of the fetus.

In India there are quite a few diagnostic centres which has 4D ultrasound facility.  Dr. Lalchandani Labs, established in the year 1986, is a premier centre for 4D ultrasound in Delhi. Highly experienced doctors carry out this pregnancy test amidst world-class lab infrastructure.

Why 4D is the Best and Popular Choice?

An in-depth scan and live streaming of the tiny movements of the little baby in the womb are the two prime reasons that make an ultrasound test in Greater Kailash one of the most-opted tests at the Lalachandnai diagnostic lab.

Pregnancy scans have always been effective diagnostic tools. Things that have changed with time are the advancement in healthcare innovation and ultramodern facilities.

A comparative study of 2D, 3D and 4D ultrasound technologies will make the essence clear.

2D ultrasound–gives a flat image of the unborn baby in respect to structural growth and position of the baby.

3 D Ultrasound– gives greater detailed image and insight of the developing fetus. During 3D scan multiple 2D images are taken from varied angles. These 2D pics can be rendered into 3D images using a rendering software. Docs can get absolute idea about shape of the facial features – the mouth, nose, eye and cheek of the baby.

4 Ultrasound– allows video screening during the scan which can catch some of the wonderfulfetal moments like yawning, thumb sucking, blinking of eyes and the cutest facial expressions.

The Benefits of Having 4D Ultrasound Test

It is always better to be sure. Hence, scans are essential during trimesters to ensure successful pregnancy. Scans or sonograms can study some of the amazing aspects related to the developing new life within a woman’s uterine chamber:

·         Proper development of the organs and muscles of the fetus

·         Optimum growth of the Central Nervous System of the fetus

·         Structural developments of the limbs

·         Number of babies in the womb

·         Heart rate of the fetus

·         Position of the fetus within the uterus

·         Level of amniotic fluid in the uterine sac

·         Signs and symptoms of Down Syndrome

Any kind of defect or inconsistency can be found out by sonograms –malformed limbs, cleft lip, congenital heart and lung problems, and etcetera.It is better to watch out for fetal complications to study the course of action that needs to be taken post-delivery.

The Highlights of 3D and 4D Scans

Medically, 3D and 4D pregnancy scans are more advanced than 2D sonogram which can only study the weekly progress of a growing fetus.  Advanced 4D sonogram allows:

·         Clear image of the internal organs

·         Optimal view of the fetal movements

·         Detection of cleft lip and other abnormalities

·         Predicting the gender of the child (this is lawful only in select countries – in India pre-natal sex determination is illegal).
