Specific examination contents of 4D ultrasound

Four dimensional ultrasound is an advanced ultrasound examination technique mainly used to observe the growth and development of fetuses, screen for fetal abnormalities, and evaluate the health status of pregnant women. Through four-dimensional ultrasound, doctors can clearly see the three-dimensional image of the fetus and observe its dynamic activities in real time. The examination includes structures such as the fetal head, face, spine, limbs, heart, abdominal organs, as well as appendages such as placenta, amniotic fluid, and umbilical cord. Four dimensional ultrasound can help doctors detect fetal abnormalities in a timely manner and provide scientific guidance for pregnant women.

1. Fetal head and facial examination. Four dimensional ultrasound can clearly display the skull, ventricles, cerebellum and other structures of the fetus, and evaluate whether the fetal head development is normal. Meanwhile, through facial 3D imaging, doctors can observe the facial features of fetuses and screen for deformities such as cleft lip and palate. For abnormalities in the fetal head and face, doctors will develop corresponding treatment plans based on the specific situation, such as surgical correction after birth.

2. Fetal spine and limb examination. Four dimensional ultrasound can display whether the fetal spine is arranged neatly and whether the limb bones are developing normally. By observing the movement of the fetus, doctors can assess its neuromuscular development. If problems such as spina bifida and limb deformities are found, doctors will recommend further examination and develop corresponding treatment plans based on the examination results, such as postnatal rehabilitation training or surgical treatment.

3. Examination of fetal heart and abdominal organs. Four dimensional ultrasound can clearly display the fetal heart structure, evaluate whether the heart development is normal, and screen for congenital heart disease. Meanwhile, by observing the abdominal organs such as the liver, gallbladder, spleen, and kidneys of the fetus, doctors can assess its developmental status. For abnormalities in the heart and abdominal organs, doctors will develop corresponding treatment plans based on the specific situation, such as medication or surgical treatment after birth.

4. Examination of placenta, amniotic fluid, and umbilical cord. Four dimensional ultrasound can evaluate the position, thickness, and maturity of the placenta, observe the amount and clarity of amniotic fluid, and check the insertion position and blood flow of the umbilical cord. These pieces of information are of great significance for evaluating the growth environment of the fetus and predicting the mode of delivery. If problems such as placenta previa, oligohydramnios or polyhydramnios, or umbilical cord entanglement are found, doctors will take corresponding measures, such as close monitoring and early termination of pregnancy.

Four dimensional color ultrasound examination is of great significance for evaluating fetal development and maternal health status. Through four-dimensional ultrasound, doctors can promptly detect fetal abnormalities and provide scientific guidance for pregnant women. It is recommended that pregnant women undergo regular 4D ultrasound examinations during pregnancy to timely understand the development of the fetus and ensure the safety of both mother and baby. Meanwhile, pregnant women should maintain good living habits, avoid exposure to harmful substances, and undergo regular prenatal check ups to ensure the healthy development of the fetus.
