quot;4D" is short for four-dimensional – the fourth dimension being time. As far as ultrasound is concerned, 4D is the latest ultrasound technology. 4D takes three-dimensional ultrasound images and adds the element of time to the process. This allows you to see your unborn baby in amazing real time detail. No, insurance does not currently cover 3D/4D ultrasounds, only those ordered as medically necessary by your attending OB, Gyn physician.

D, 3D and 4D are trademarked terminology used in the industry to distinguish the different types of pictures and videos that can be provided. D ultrasounds are the traditional black & white ultrasounds you have probably seen before. The pictures show the skeletal structure (outline) of the baby. You also get to see the baby moving in 2D! This is the type of ultrasound that was probably used for your diagnostic ultrasound. See similar questions...

The 2D (2 dimensional) image is the flat black and white picture that looks like an outline or skeletal image of your baby you get at your diagnostic ultrasound. The 3D (3 dimensional) image will look more realistic, like a detail photograph of your baby. The 4D (4 dimensional) actually uses the amazing 3D technology to view your baby in "live motion" like a video. 4D is when you get to see movements, such as kicking, waving, sucking their thumb, or even smiling.

Like all ultrasound studies, the 3D / 4D uses high frequency sound waves to create images that can be viewed on a monitor screen. In the 3D / 4D scan you are able to see your baby in a 3D - more life like image, instead of the familiar flat, grainy 2D pictures. The 4th dimension is real time movement. You may be able to catch your baby smiling, yawning or sucking his/her thumb. See similar questions...

We use the state-of-the-art technology ? the GE Voluson 730?. This GE system has been shown in TV commercials and featured in many articles from around the world.

This compromises the quality of images. See similar questions...

Our 3D backgrounds, approximately 10’x 18’, have painted floors which are part of the seamless muslin background itself. Our 2D backgrounds, approximately 10’ x 8’, do not have a floor. (Some of the 2D thumbnails show couples photographed full-length. In these cases we added a separate floor which is not part of the background. Photographers who wish to use a 2D background full-length will need to create their own floor.) See similar questions...
