Wondering about the safety of 3D ultrasounds for you and your baby? Rest assured, there’s no difference in safety between 3D ultrasound, HD 5D ultrasound, and traditional 2D ultrasounds. They all use the same type of sound waves, with the software making the difference in the final images.

Ultrasound technology has been safely used on pregnant women since the 1960s, and there’s no reliable scientific data showing any harm to mom or baby. In fact, it’s a crucial part of prenatal care, allowing healthcare providers to monitor your baby’s well-being using safe sound waves.

On average, moms-to-be have between 2 to 5 ultrasound examinations during a normal pregnancy, without limitations for high-risk pregnancies. Your baby’s health is our top priority – trust in the safety and effectiveness of ultrasound technology for monitoring their development.

Experience the next level of ultrasound technology with our 3D ultrasound, 4D ultrasound, and HD 5D ultrasound.  Say goodbye to flat, one-dimensional images and hello to multi-dimension and stunning color applications that provide a whole new perspective on your ultrasound experience.

2D ultrasound only shows one slice image from the body. Our state-of-the-art 3D technology sweeps through the body, capturing multiple images and processing them into a comprehensive volume image. And with 4D, you’re not just seeing still images – you’re witnessing a real-time ultrasound movie of your baby, with incredible details that bring the experience to life.

But we don’t stop there. Our advanced HD ultrasound takes it even further, creating unbelievably clear images and live videos that elevate the entire ultrasound process to what we call 5D ultrasounds.

It’s not guaranteed, but we go the extra mile to capture the best images possible. Factors like the baby’s position, fluid levels, placenta location, and more can affect image quality. But don’t worry – if we can’t get a clear view or determine the gender in the first session, we’ll book you for a repeat session at no extra cost. We’re committed to giving you the best experience possible.

The clarity of your ultrasound images is important, and at our locations, we use only the most advanced equipment. Our licensed technicians are not only skilled in operating this cutting-edge technology but also have extensive experience working with expectant mothers. While there are factors beyond our control that could affect image quality, rest assured that we go above and beyond to ensure your images exceed expectations.

There are other uncontrollable factors that could have an impact on image quality.

• Baby’s Position
  Capturing the perfect baby face pictures is all about getting the right angle. If your little one is facing toward your spine, it can be challenging to snap those adorable front-facing shots. But don’t worry. We are here to work with you and your baby to ensure we get those precious photos. Sometimes, things like the placenta, umbilical cord, or tiny hands and feet can get in the way of a clear picture-perfect moment. Plus, the position of the placenta can also affect how the overall images turn out. We understand these challenges and are ready to help you overcome them for stunning results.
• Amniotic Fluid
  Did you know that the amount of amniotic fluid around your baby’s face can make a real difference in the clarity of ultrasound images? With our advanced technology, more fluid around the facial area means even more stunning and detailed pictures for you to cherish. Schedule your session now and see the magic for yourself!
• Thickness of Maternal Tissue
  At our clinic, we understand the importance of capturing this precious moment with clarity and precision. That’s why we recommend waiting until around 26-27 weeks for expecting mothers, as this ensures optimal image quality. Our state-of-the-art technology accounts for varying tissue thickness, guaranteeing an unforgettable glimpse of your little one. Book your session and treasure this beautiful keepsake forever.
• Baby’s movement
  This could possibly decrease the quality of the 3D ultrasound pictures, especially if the movement is constant. While a baby’s movements can impact image quality, our skilled technicians know just how to capture those precious moments. Whether it’s catching an adorable pose or removing any obstructions, we’re here to ensure you get the beautiful images you’ve been dreaming of.

The quality of your baby’s first portraits is anything but predictable. Get ready to be amazed as our skilled technicians capture every precious detail with precision and expertise. It’s all about creating the perfect environment in the ultrasound room – from checking your baby’s position to ensuring optimal amniotic fluid levels. Let us bring you unforgettable moments of joy and wonder with stunning 3D ultrasound / HD 5D ultrasound images.
