3-D/4-D sonography
3D ultrasound/4D ultrasound
prenatal diagnostics
3-D/4-D sonography is the further development of the conventional two-dimensional ultrasound examination in prenatal diagnostics, whereby 3-D stands for a still image and 4-D for moving images. In recent years, the three-dimensional visualisation of foetal surface structures and the multiplanar analysis of organ systems have become an integral part of prenatal ultrasound examinations.
Diseases and malformations can be visualised for patients, but also for paediatricians providing further treatment. In multiplanar analysis, volume blocks of individual organ systems are saved and analysed off-line. Sectional planes and visualisation forms can be selected that are not possible with conventional two-dimensional imaging. This enables a specialist to diagnose, demonstrate and explain even rare and complicated malformations, e.g. of the brain, blood vessels, heart and skeletal system.
We have been using these examination methods in our practice for years and have continuously followed the individual stages of development - from freehand 3D images to real-time 3D visualisation. In our view, there is no doubt about the clear benefits of this method for diagnostics and counselling.
Finally, it should be mentioned that 3D/4D sonography is absolutely harmless for the mother and the unborn child and is a prenatal experience thanks to the clear images.
Additional experience: The 3-dimensional images of the ultrasound examination are projected onto a screen by a projector, with commentary at every step. Your little one will look really big to you. So that you can share your happiness with friends and family, we will send you a link to your smartphone where you can view images and video sequences of your examination.
