What is the 4D Scan test?
A 4D scan test is performed on adults and children using MRI or CT scanners. 4D scans use ultrasound scan technology to capture the images of your baby. This allows you to see how they are moving and growing in real time. The 4D scan is a great method to provide a multidimensional view of your unborn child without any risk to the baby. It can be used for both medical and nonmedical reasons but should always be discussed with a doctor.
What is the 4D Scan test used for?
A 4 D scan test is used to confirm if fetal development is normal. It is done to confirm the patient’s due date and the baby’s gestational age. These 4D scan tests can show certain birth defects or confirm multiple pregnancies. A baby’s body can be understood without an X-ray or ultrasound.
Understanding the results of the 4D scan test
The 4D scan is a new technology that shows the baby’s facial expressions in a 3D environment. If the baby’s size, shape, or facial features do not look normal, it can indicate any underlying problem with the baby. Your doctor may conduct further investigation and examination to arrive at a conclusion or confirm any abnormality.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Why do I need a 4D Scan Test?
You need a 4D scan test if your doctor determines, detects, or want to rule out any of the following indications:
- Facial or skeletal abnormality of the child.
- Position of the placenta.
- Measure amniotic fluid.
- To check fetus growth, weight, and measure it.
What happens during the 4D Scan Test?
The procedure for the 4D scan test is simple. The patient is required to lie down on the table while a particular gel is applied to the abdominal region. A probe is moved around the area to capture different images from all angles to get clear images. Once it is done, the gel is cleaned up with some tissue, and the patient is asked to get up.
What is a 4D scan in pregnancy?
3D scans give still pictures of your baby in three dimensions, whereas 4D scans give moving 3D images of the baby in real time. Doctors recommend this test if they want to check any physical abnormality in the child or to check certain conditions in the womb.
In which week is a 4D scan done?
A 4D scan is usually recommended during pregnancy between the 26th to 34th week. This period is preferred as this developmental phase helps get clear images of the baby and detailed and accurate information about the fetal growth.
When is the best time to do a 4D ultrasound?
Though the best time to take this test is between the 26th to 34th week of pregnancy, many consider the 27th week the best time to get the 4D scan test.
Is a 4D scan safe for a baby?
4 D scan is non-invasive and considered safe as it uses sound and light to give clear real-life images of fetal development. However, this test should only be performed if advised by your doctor.
