What is a 3D ultrasound?
3D Ultrasound / 4D Ultrasound in Atlanta! 3D ultrasound is a beautiful way for you to meet your sweet baby before he or she is born. Using the same sound waves as the traditional 2D ultrasound, we can provide you with a realistic 3D ultrasound image of your baby’s face.
What can be seen in a 4D ultrasound?
With our state-of-the-art HD Ultrasound machine, activities of the baby inside the womb can be seen which are difficult or impossible to identify on 2D scanning. With 4D ultrasound scanning the fetus can now be seen to yawn, cry, swallow, blink and perform intricate finger movements.
Should I get a 3-D ultrasound or keepsake ultrasounds?
Some 3-D ultrasound photos also can look a little scary. I’ve seen parents come in worried that something was wrong with their baby because the photo didn’t look “right.” If you do decide to get a keepsake ultrasound, you’re more likely to get the pretty images you see in magazines between 24 and 28 weeks.
Are 3-D and 4-D ultrasounds safe during pregnancy?
Bottom line: When ultrasounds are performed to help manage the pregnancy and gather information about the developing fetus, I have no worries about its use. Forty weeks can feel like a lifetime to wait to see your baby. 3-D and 4-D ultrasounds can seem like the perfect solution to get a sneak peek of your little one.

What is the future of 3D sonography?
Future Developments. While 3D sonography was invented as early as 1987, it is still only recently that it is becoming part of routine care and support given to medical patients. As new methods of treatment are being discovered the technology is becoming ever more widespread.
What are the side effects of a 3D ultrasound scan?
There are other potential side effects that can result from 3D ultrasound scans; one particularly unforeseen consequence is that the machine can actually be too good. Due to the improved imaging capabilities the machine can pick up far more information than previously and this can lead to false positives.
