What is 4D ultrasound used for

Four dimensional ultrasound is mainly used to examine the development, organ structure, and facial morphology of the fetus, evaluate the uterine environment of pregnant women, and assist in the diagnosis of certain congenital diseases or abnormalities. It is one of the important examination methods during pregnancy.

1 Fetal Development Assessment

Four dimensional ultrasound can dynamically observe the development of the fetus, including whether the fetal body shape, weight, and bone development are normal, and whether there are problems such as excessive or insufficient weight. In addition, it can clearly display the fetal body movements, such as waving, kicking, yawning, etc. These dynamic images can help doctors roughly understand the fetal movement status and evaluate whether the fetal body is developing healthily.

2 visceral and organ rejection examination

4D ultrasound is an advanced ultrasound imaging technique that constructs a three-dimensional image of the fetus, which can clearly display the morphology and functional status of important organs such as the brain, heart, liver, and kidneys. Doctors can use this image to screen for congenital abnormalities in fetuses such as neural tube defects, congenital heart disease, polycystic kidney disease, etc.

3 Fetal Facial Structure Examination

Four dimensional ultrasound can also examine the fetal facial features, facial expressions, and overall appearance, such as whether there are deformities such as cleft lip and palate, and whether the proportions of various facial parts are normal. For some special pregnancy families, the unique facial features and expressions of the fetus can be observed through four-dimensional ultrasound, leaving behind memory images.

4 Auxiliary Evaluation of the Placenta and Uterine Environment of Pregnant Women

Four dimensional B-ultrasound not only checks the fetus, but also observes the condition of the mother's placenta, amniotic fluid volume, and uterine development environment, evaluates whether the placental function is normal, whether there are problems such as placental abruption and oligohydramnios, and provides more references for prenatal health care.

Four dimensional ultrasound can not only evaluate the health status of the fetus, but also assist in diagnosing congenital abnormalities, providing safety protection during pregnancy. Pregnant women should undergo four-dimensional ultrasound at the appropriate time, which should be operated and interpreted by professionals to ensure good fetal development.
