An ultrasound is an exciting opportunity to get a first glimpse of your new baby. Images created by traditional 2D ultrasound technology cannot compare as a first portrait. Two-dimensional ultrasound produce black-and-white swirls and streaks for images, making it is very difficult in some settings, to identify the different bits of baby's anatomy.

The ultrasound probe takes a number of images (which the sonographer might call 'slices' or 'planes'), and the computer assembles them into a Three D image, complete with depth and surface details. 3 D ultrasound is also color-enhanced, so you can see subtle surface details like facial features and fingers.

Did you know that having a 3D scan done is actually good for your relationship with your new little one? Well it is! Studies show that mums who have the three-dimensional ultrasound /4D ultrasound before birth bond better with their babies.

If your main concern is the overall health and well being of the baby we also have a more detailed scan service where we specifically look for any obvious abnormalities. This scan is done in 2D so that all babies organs can be assessed.
