We are amazed on how modern technological advancement especially in medicine created a big leap in history and in the way of life and one of these is the ultrasound. Pregnancy ultrasound was developed as a two-dimensional image scanning which further evolved into 3d and the 4d ultrasound scans.
3D ultrasound was first developed by Olaf von Ramm and Stephen Smith at Duke University in 1987. The technology was used clinically on intense research activity especially in fetal anomaly scanning. However, 3d ultrasound has also been adapted by expectant mother as a way to bond with her unborn child.
4D baby scans are similar to 3D scans except that they show fetal movement as shown in the video clip. This is made possible by successive imaging that produces a moving object.
At present, pregnancy ultrasound is used not only as a way to bond with the baby but also to discover fetal anomalies that may develop during pregnancy.
