- Frequently Asked Questions -
What is "4D"/"4D Ultrasound"?
"4D" is shorthand for "four-dimensional"- the fourth dimension
being time. As far as ultrasound is concerned, 4D Ultrasound is the latest ultrasound
technology and it is exclusive to GE. 4D Ultrasound takes three-dimensional ultrasound
images and adds the element of time to the process. The result: Live Action images
of your unborn child or of any internal anatomy.
What are the advantages of the 4D technology?
In contrast to other 3D imaging diagnostic processes, 4D
allows your doctor to visualize internal anatomy moving
in real-time. For example: Movement patterns of fetuses
allows conclusions to be drawn about their development;
increase of accuracy in ultrasound guided biopsies thanks
to the visualization of needle movements in real time in
all 3 planes. So physicians and sonographers can detect
or rule out any number of issues, from vascular anomalies
and genetic syndromes.
Are there any risks related to 3D or 4D ultrasound?
No. 3D and 4D Ultrasound both utilize sound waves to look
inside the body. The technology is similar to radar. A
probe placed on the body emits sound waves into the body,
listens for the return echo and generates an image.
Why do the 4D Ultrasound images have a golden hue?
Physicians have the option of selecting different tints in
reviewing images. GE has found that the golden hue is aesthetically
pleasing to the eye and shows excellent shadows and highlights.
How long does an ultrasound exam last?
There are many factors that impact the length of an ultrasound
exam, including the position of the baby in the womb. However,
a typical exam for an expectant mother lasts approximately
20-50 minutes.
Do I have to make any special preparations for an
ultrasound exam?
Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive exam that does not typically
require any exam preparation. We recommend you drink plenty
of water the day before and the day of your exam to get the
best images.
What are the advantages of the 4D technology?
Displaying the entire volume of an object that is being examined
makes it possible to analyze the tissue concerned. 4D allows
doctors and sonographers to analyze fetal motion and perform
exams previously unavailable.
Beyond pretty baby pictures, are there other applications
for 4D Ultrasound?
Yes. The Voluson 730 is a full-service ultrasound system
that can be used for breast imaging, interventional urology
and general imaging. As with all ultrasound systems, it can
be used to research the following:
- Determining fetal age
- Analyzing fetal development
- Evaluating multiple and/or high-risk pregnancies
- Detecting fetal abnormalities
- Detecting structural problem with uterus
- Detecting placental abnormalities
- Detecting abnormal bleeding
- Determining ectopic pregnancy and other abnormalities
of pregnancy
- Detecting ovarian tumor/fibroids
- Locating the placenta
