3D and 4D Antenatal Scanning

In addition to conventional ultrasound scanning we also offer advanced 3D and 4D techniques.

3D and 4D Scans can produce lifelike pictures of your baby with movement

While conventional 2D Scanning produces an informative ultrasound image that is made up of a series of thin slices with only one slice shown at a time – the picture you see does not look like a baby.

With 3D ultrasound a volume of echoes is taken which can be stored digitally and shaded to produce life like pictures of the foetus. 4D scanning simply means that these life like pictures can be seen to move in real time so the activity of the baby inside your womb can be studied.

Our 3D & 4D ultrasound scans are coordinated by world leading experts

CREATE Health is pleased to include Professor Stuart Campbell, a world –renowned pioneer of ultrasound diagnosis who has introduced 3/4D scanning to the UK, as Director of Ultrasound services.

The benefits of 3D and 4D scans are:

• The examination time should be shorter because the baby's anatomy can be studied in any plane from the stored computer image.
• Some parts of the baby's anatomy can be seen much more clearly than with 2D ultrasound, especially the face, arms, legs, fingers and toes. 
• Activities of the baby inside the womb can be seen with 4D scanning, eg the foetus can be seen to yawn, cry, swallow, blink and perform intricate finger movements. 
• Bonding between parents and baby has been shown to be stronger because the picture of the baby is more realistic. Improved bonding has been shown to improve the mother's care of herself and therefore her baby.
