3D/4D Ultrasound: Side-Effects, Advantages and Disadvantages


At diagnostic levels, ultrasound imaging has a potential to cause small pockets of gases or cavitation in the tissues. Ultrasound also produces a lit heating of tissue. While there’s no significant health consequences that has been traced over twenty years of use of ultrasound, the use of any unregulated ultrasound for anything other than diagnostic imaging isn’t encouraged. However, recording the videos of fetal movements is highly permissible only when it occurs during medically-indicated examination that’s being performed by trained medical personnel, also without the requirement for any additional fetal exposure to the ultrasound waves.


Advantages of 3D and 4D Ultrasound Las Vegas

Storage of volume data for expert review, screening, teaching, and remote diagnosis done in remote areas.
Shorter time for screening and diagnosis of fetal heart.
Enhanced bonding between parents and the baby.
More support by father after they visualize the form and development of the baby.
Possible more accuracy when it comes to identification of any fetal anomaly, especially of the heart, face, limbs, skeleton and neural tube.
Healthier behavior during the pregnancy because of seeing the infant in 3D and in real-time.
  
Disadvantages
Here are some disadvantages of 3D/4D ultrasound as suggested by the imaging center Las Vegas:
Expensive machinery and equipment
Volume data that is acquired might be of a lower-quality when there’s fetal movements, which would affect all the later planes or angles of viewing.
Longer training is required to operate the equipment.
If the spine of the fetus isn’t at bottom of scanned field, then soundwave shadows might hinder the view.
