3D ultrasound
Volumetric prenatal scan
3D ultrasound is medical imaging that constructs three-dimensional pictures of internal structures, most commonly used to visualize a fetus during pregnancy.
Unlike conventional ultrasound, which produces flat cross-sectional images, 3D ultrasound assembles multiple two-dimensional scans into a volumetric image showing depth and surface detail: The 3D ultrasound showed the baby's face clearly.
Parents often request it for keepsake images, though its primary medical value lies in detecting certain anatomical abnormalities.
