An ultrasound is an exciting opportunity to get a first glimpse of your new baby. Images created by traditional 2D ultrasound technology cannot compare as a first portrait. 2D ultrasound produce black-and-white swirls and streaks for images, making it is very difficult in some settings, to identify the different bits of baby's anatomy.

The ultrasound probe takes a number of images (which the sonographer might call 'slices' or 'planes'), and the computer assembles them into a 3D image, complete with depth and surface details. Three D ultrasound is also color-enhanced, so you can see subtle surface details like facial features and fingers.

Did you know that having a three-dimensional ultrasound done is actually good for your relationship with your new little one? Well it is! Studies show that mums who have the 3D scan /Four Dimensional ultrasound before birth bond better with their babies.

The vast majority of the time, three-dimensional ultrasound ultrasound will introduce you to your baby and reassure you that he or she is healthy and developing just right. If your main concern is the overall health and well being of the baby we also have a more detailed scan service where we specifically look for any obvious abnormalities. This scan is done in 2D so that all babies organs can be assessed.
