Baby Scanning- Your Unborn Baby
The method know as 3d ultrasound is used during early pregnancy, providing 3 d pictures of the fetus. Most of the time these ultrasound images are captured and joined together to created a “4d ultrasound”.
Three dimensional scans works in the same way to the normal ultrasound methods except that the ultrasound scanning waves can be sent from multiple directions. The ultrasound pulses can be redirected back then captured to provide information to construct a 3d image in in the same way as 3d pictures. 3 dimesional ultrasound was devised by olaf ramm abs stephen smith.
It is important to understand that sonologists around the world have always conjured 3d pictures of the body in their minds while carrying out 2d scans. However, until recently it was almost impossibel to do this type of reconstruction on patient data acquired using ultasound scanning. With the introduction of 4d scans for the first time allowed us a peek into the mechanics of thinking of a sonologist and so letting us see the images on the ultrasound machine.
3d imaging should utilize ultrasound energy following the same limits as conventional 2d ultrasound to create the 3d images. There is no data to suggest any harm due to 3d ultrasound, its use in none medical situations should be undertaken with the understanding of the risks.
