The method know as 3d ultrasound is used in early pregnancy, it provides 3d images of the unborn child. Most times these ultrasound pictures are rapidly captured and joined together to created a “4d ultrasound”.

Three dimensional scanning works similarly to the normal scanning methods except that the ultrasound scanning waves can be sent from multiple directions. The ultrasound waves are reflected back then captured to provide info to construct a 3 d picture in very much the same way as 3d movies. 3d ultasound scanning was first developed by olaf von ramm and stephen smith in america.

It’s important to understand that sonologists around the world have always conjured 3d pictures of the body in their minds whilst doing 2d scans. However, until recently it was not possible to do this type of reconstruction on on patient information using ultasound scanning. The advent of baby scans for the first time allowed us a peek into the brain of a sonologist and so letting us see the images on the ultrasound machine.

The 3d/4d ultrasound image should utilize ultrasound energy following the same limits as conventional 2d ultrasound to create the 3d images. While there is no information of harm due to 3d ultasound scanning, its use in none medical situations needs to be undertaken with an understanding of the risks.
