Some 3D/4D imaging can be incorporated into the routine screening anatomy scan with not much effort or increase in scanning time in the majority of patients. In conventional 2D ultrasound review of the examination is generally limited to the findings detected and documented by the sonologist. This means the data can be assessed at a remote site by a more expert clinician who is not limited by the findings detected by the first examiner It also allows all images in all planes to be reviewed in cine‐loop, and the complete data volume can be stored, reviewed and manipulated later. With an experienced sonologist, evaluation time may be shortened, especially with complex defects. It improves resolution, offers unlimited images in any plane, allows simultaneous correlation between image planes that are perpendicular to the acquisition plane and 3D rendered images can be reconstructed STIC has many benefits both for screening in the routine anatomy scan, and for further evaluating the heart where an abnormality is suspected. The Spatio‐Temporal Image Correlation (STIC) volume acquisition, can allow rapid depiction of the cardiac anatomy, and with an enthusiastic sonographer can give a quick and accurate depiction of the chambers and major vessels I will outline some of the areas where I have found 3D helpful in my scanning (private practice). Already, there is a proliferation of papers outlining the uses, a lot may stay as research or of academic interest only (hype), but some will translate to real advances in everyday practical fetal ultrasound (helpful). This enthusiasm for 4D scanning should have the effect of improving our (operator) technique, and will also encourage the development of how we use 4D. However, with the advent of high quality real‐time 4D scanners, which are easy to use and have a high rate of successful imaging, there is a sustained enthusiasm of use with colleagues and patients. My experience initially with manually swept 3D was that my personal enthusiasm did not translate widely to either my colleagues or to the public. In fact, it is fair to say that at this time, the technology advances have been so profound that they have left the technique of most of us (human sonologists) way behind. Accompanying the hardware has been a similar explosion in software programming allowing complex manipulation and storage of the data. This lead to 4D (real‐time 3D), and now the development of solid‐state electronically oscillating transducers. The technology began with “hand swept” slice acquisition using standard transducers followed by mechanically oscillating 3D transducers. We have toys, books and coloring books available for your small children.3D ultrasound has been the most rapidly evolving technique and technology in fetal ultrasound in the past few years. We offer various levels of precision and pricing to meet our clients needs. If you haven't seen an HD live ultrasound you will truly be amazed at the levels of intimate details of your bundle of joy. She is also the first woman to open, own and operate a local ultrasound office. All ultrasounds are performed by Centerville native Christine Cook who is a LPN, RDMS (registered diagnostic medical sonographer) and has been a diagnostic ultrasound technologist for more than 30 years. We specifically specialize in and only preform prenatal high quality 2/D,Ĥ/D means you're viewing your baby live and in real time. Our office is the first of it's kind to open an elective imaging facility in the Centerville area. We offer a creative way for you and your family to meet your new bundle of joy.
