What is 3D and 4D Imaging?

3D Imaging: Creates three-dimensional, static images of the fetus, offering detailed views of the baby’s facial features, limbs, and overall development.

4D Imaging: Adds the dimension of time, providing live, moving images of the baby in the womb. It allows parents to observe movements like yawning, stretching, and even smiling.

These imaging techniques go beyond traditional 2D ultrasounds, giving families a closer look at their baby while providing doctors with more precise diagnostic capabilities.

Benefits of 3D and 4D Imaging

  • Enhanced Fetal Bonding: Parents can see their baby’s face, movements, and expressions clearly, strengthening their emotional connection.
  • Early Detection of Anomalies: Detailed imaging allows our expert doctors to identify potential abnormalities or developmental concerns at an early stage.
  • Improved Diagnostic Accuracy: The clarity of 3D and 4D imaging enhances the ability to assess the baby's growth, organ structure, and overall health.
  • Real-Time Monitoring: With 4D imaging, parents can witness their baby’s activities live, making the experience memorable and reassuring.

    We offer a range of genetic services, including genetic screening, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), prenatal genetic testing, fertility preservation, and carrier screening for hereditary conditions. These services help ensure healthy pregnancies and improve the success of fertility treatments.

    Genetic screening helps identify potential inherited genetic disorders before starting fertility treatments. It can provide valuable insights into genetic risks, allowing us to offer personalized treatment options and better plan for a successful pregnancy.

    Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is a process used during IVF to screen embryos for genetic abnormalities before implantation. It helps select the healthiest embryos, reducing the risk of passing on genetic disorders and increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy.

    Prenatal genetic tests are used to screen for genetic disorders during pregnancy. Non-invasive tests, such as NIPT, are available to check for conditions like Down syndrome. For higher-risk cases, more invasive tests like amniocentesis or CVS can be done to confirm results.

    Fertility preservation involves freezing eggs, sperm, or embryos for future use. Genetic testing is important to ensure that these cells are healthy and free from genetic conditions, which can help maximize the chances of a successful pregnancy in the future.
