What is 3D and 4D scan?

Like regular ultrasounds, 3D and 4D ultrasounds use sound waves to create an image of your baby in your womb. What’s different is that 3D ultrasounds create a three-dimensional image of your baby, while 4D ultrasounds create a live video effect, like a movie — you can watch your baby smile or yawn.

Is 4D better than HD?

HD: HD stands for “High Definition” and it’s the same concept as other HD technology on the market; offering a more crisp, clear, defined image. The ultrasound system gathers much more information from the 3D/4D data than previous versions, rendering highly detailed images of the baby.

Do 4D scans show gender?

Yes, we can offer you a gender scan after 28 weeks during one of our 4D Scan packages or with the Growth scan.

What is a 4D scan baby?
