What Is 3D/4D Ultrasound?
- 3D Ultrasound provides three-dimensional, high-resolution images that capture the contours and features of the fetus (or other anatomical structures).
- 4D Ultrasound adds the element of time, showing continuous, real-time motion—perfect for seeing your baby’s movements or tracking blood flow and organ function.
