The ultrasound o ultrasound They allow us to visualize the baby before birth. A technological advance that did not exist a few decades ago and that is an important achievement in prenatal care. There are several types of ultrasound or ultrasound: 2D, 3D, 4D and 5D.
En Clínica del Carmen You can choose several types of echoes. In them a specialized gynecologist will perform the prenatal diagnosis obtaining accurate and real images of the baby's face and anatomy. With these ultrasounds you can generate areas, volumes, obtain measurements of the anatomical structure of the baby.
Experts agree to highlight the evolution that ultrasound have experienced in recent decades. In the beginning, the ultrasounds were in 2d. That is, they simply offered a black and white image of the fetus on a plane, in order to be able to make a fetal diagnosis. On the other hand, the appearance of ultrasound in 3d meant the ability to show the baby in 3 dimensions, with a much sharper image. With them, the doctor can better detect possible malformations of the little ones.
Differences between ultrasound
3D ultrasound
The three-dimensional ultrasound allow you to see the baby more clearly, giving it volume. This type of ultrasound has been used in gynecology since the end of the 80 years and the beginning of the 90, revolutionizing the field of diagnostic imaging, as it offers an amazing resolution and sharpness of the fetus compared to conventional ultrasound in two dimensions.
The images obtained They are sharper and better diagnoses can be obtained in specific cases where you need to see details.
La three-dimensional ultrasound It shows us a static image in three dimensions of the fetus and its structures with a sharper color than the black and white of traditional ultrasound. The third plane that is incorporated is the frontal plane, if we talk about abdominal probes, and the transverse plane in the vaginal probes.
4 D ultrasound
The four-dimensional ultrasound they are the latest advancement in the technology of gynecology and Obstetrics. It is a video of ultrasound of the fetus inside the womb. It is actually an ultrasound in 3D but recorded and seen in real time. Nowadays with 4D ultrasound, you get quality images and more real that can be obtained from the fetus.
La 4D ultrasound shows the real fetal movement, and you can see details such as if the baby sucks his finger, makes gestures with his face, yawns, plays with the umbilical cord or if he moves his arms or legs ...
Parents prefer to keep this type of ultrasound because the baby is seen more clearly.
The best time to perform the 4D echo is among the 25 and 32 weeks, since obtaining good images will be more effective. In addition, the fetus and its movements will be better visualized.
5 D ultrasound
The 5d ultrasound they are only one 4D ultrasound with HD resolution high definition which makes it possible to obtain a sharper image allowing to see the baby more clearly and detect possible anomalies.
The difference is that this new ultrasound has a volume processing software which gives the image of the baby higher resolution, greater sharpness and shades of shadows that give a surprisingly realistic look to the features of the fetal face. In the 5D ultrasound In addition to obtaining very real images, a completely natural skin tone is perceived.
