4D Scans
This is why you visit us at 4D Scan.
The movement of 3D. Time was added to 3D so we could see the baby moving in real-time, thus 4D. The 4D image also improved with time as we tried to get as close as possible to real-time movement. We hope your baby is cooperating so we might show you a yawn, swallowing of fluid, or opening of the eyes!
Introducing AI-enhanced 4D imaging
4D Scan is proud to introduce AI-enhanced 4D imaging at our practices!
Being at the forefront of Obstetric Sonography in South Africa, AI-enhanced imaging uses advanced algorithms to sharpen and clarify ultrasound images, providing unparalleled detail of your baby.
Experience the wonder of seeing your baby’s features with breathtaking clarity—truly a remarkable leap in prenatal care.
3D Scans
And this is the yellow-brown image that took the world by storm some time ago!
The image of the baby’s face has improved in the last 12 years. The pixels are smaller and we are creating smoother imaging. The role of 3D has changed from a nice-to-have to a diagnostic tool. The 3D is a still image of the fetus.
2D Scans
So here is the scan that most of us all know – you know, the one you surprise Dad-to-be with?
2D is mainly used for diagnostic purposes. With each 4D Scan session, a level 3 diagnostic scan will be done to determine possible abnormalities. 2D Scans are the black-and-white image you are used to seeing. This is a grayscale image of your baby produced by sound waves.
The 2D image is essential as we do most of the diagnostic imaging on the 2D. We also need to do a 2D image before switching to 3D or 4D. The quality of our 2D image influences our 3D/4D image.
