WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES
OF ULTRASOUND?
2D Ultrasound allows a medical professional to take a much-needed
look at the developing baby, it allows parents-to-be a first glimpse
of the expected bundle of joy, making it as exciting as it is necessary.
The 2D standard ultrasounds rely on sound waves that are “bounced”
off of objects inside of the mother-to-be to produce an image of the
growing fetus. |

3D
ultrasound works similarly to the traditional ultrasound except
that the ultrasound waves are directed from multiple angles. The
waves are reflected back and captured and together provide enough
information to construct a 3-dimensional image.
A
4D ultrasound takes multiple images in rapid succession, creating
a three-dimensional motion video, which is invaluable for diagnosis
purposes. Uses defocused wide angle ultra wideband transmitted pulses
(optionally from synthesized very high intensity virtual point sources).
Creates a real time, 30 f/s, very high resolution, very wide dynamic
range, 3D image which is reconstructed via time domain techniques
using a synthetic aperture.
