Clinical Overview

What is a 3D/4D Baby Scan?

A 3D/4D baby scan uses advanced ultrasound technology to capture three-dimensional static images and four-dimensional real-time video of your baby in the womb. Unlike traditional 2D scans, it provides detailed surface images of your baby's features and movements.
