3D and 4D Ultrasound- Visualization of Fetal Anatomy and Development

1. 3D and 4D Ultrasound: Visualization of Fetal Anatomy and Development

2. Ultrasound scanning is an important clinical tool that gives us the opportunity to see images of fetal anatomy, as well as a wide range of other organ systems.  This imaging technique is also called sonography because it uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of slices through the body. Let’s understand the importance of prenatal assessment by 3D/4D sonography in detail.

3. What is 3D and 4D Ultrasound? Theultrasound imaging that we see today was not this clear in the past. A 2D ultrasound machine, which is the most popular option today and even in the past, creates a black and white image that shows the skeletal structure of the baby and makes the internal organs visible.   But as time goes on, ultrasound technology continues to improve. Today, we can perform 3D / 4D ultrasounds that provide better results than ever before. The process of 3D ultrasound imaging involves taking multiple 2D slices and storing them in digital format. As a result, life-like pictures come out. While in 4D scanning, these pictures can be seen moving in real time, allowing us to observe the baby's activity.

4. However, in many areas, ultrasound technology is also used to find out the gender of the fetus, which is not allowed in many countries. But that’s not all, 3D and 4D Ultrasound have a lot to offer to humans. So, let’s jump in to understand its importance in detail.

5. Importance of 3D and 4D Ultrasound? When parents get the news that they are pregnant, the first thing they want is to ensure fetal health. This is where prenatal ultrasounds give them the opportunity to see the fetal anatomy and take a breath of peace by knowing it's growing perfectly. The process of checking the fetal anatomy is usually performed after weeks of pregnancy. Because, at this time, the baby is developed enough to obtain the diagnostic information needed. It is usually the only time during pregnancy that the baby is scanned from top to bottom during a routine fetal anatomy scan.

6. In order to confirm the results, the sonographer will take several measurements: • The baby is growing appropriately. • The baby’s internal organs are developing properly. • The baby’s facial structure will be assessed. • Pay attention to genetic abnormalities. • Additionally, ultrasound helps parents bond strongly with the baby. And because of a more realistic picture of the baby, parents can: • See Face, arms, fingers, legs and toes more clearly. • See activities such as moving limbs, yawning, and swallowing.

7. The topic of prenatal visualization is quite exciting, and the scope is good.  If you are a postgraduate and looking forward to getting more details on the subject so that you can master it in the future,  Dr. Sonal Panchal and Dr. Chaitanya Nagori brought the ultrasound online course. They aim to bring you the best of content from the eminent faculties.

8. About Course • The course was not designed in a few weeks; it took months of hard work by Dr. Sonal Panchal and Dr. Chaitanya Nagori to make Ultrasound in OBGYN easy to understand for students.  • The course includes: • Online video lectures on ultrasound • Case Demo videos • Lecture notes • Practice-assessment questions • After completing the course, the candidates will earn a course completion certificate.
