Four Dimensional Ultrasound

Ultrasound devices; It works with the principle that high-frequency sound waves emitted from the end of the device touching the mother are reflected from tissues of different densities and the image formed is reflected on a screen.
In traditional two-dimensional ultrasound, the reflections come straight, whereas in four-dimensional ultrasound, tissues can be imaged in detail because they come from different angles.
4D ultrasound ensures that the excitement of pregnancy turns into beautiful memories as families wonder who and what their baby looks like the most after their health condition.

When is 4D Ultrasound Done?

Detailed ultrasound examination during pregnancy, 18-24 weeks of pregnancy. It is carried out in weeks. If an evaluation cannot be made due to the baby's position or if a suspicious finding is found, the procedure is repeated within a week.

4D Ultrasound has an important place in the diagnosis and diagnosis of these issues:

• Determination of the baby's gender earlier (at the 12th week) (also depends on the position).
• Detection of problems related to the central nervous system such as Spina Bifida (openings in the spine) or encephalocele (prolapse of the brain from the bone structure).
• Detection of cleft palate and cleft lip anomalies.
• Monitoring the baby's physical appearance, especially the face, in cases of chromosomal anomalies such as Down syndrome.
• Diagnosing the baby's hand and foot anomalies more clearly and accurately.
• Detection of abnormalities of abdominal organs being protruded after defects in the anterior abdominal wall, such as gastroschisis or ompholocele, in earlier weeks of pregnancy.
• Detection of anomalies that may occur in the placenta.
• Diagnosing the causes of abnormal bleeding.
• On the other hand, monitoring the movements of the baby in the womb provides important psychological support for expectant mothers and fathers who see their baby for the first time.
