Does the 3D/4D scan present any risk to mother or baby?
The scanning equipment used by The baby skan studio is the GE Voluson 730 Pro a state-of-the-art scanning machine. Ultrasound technology has been researched extensively in hundreds of clinical studies over the past 35 years and has not been shown to cause any harm to either mother or baby with routine scanning now a normal procedure in all pregnancies. In 3D/4D scanning, exactly the same type and intensity of ultrasound is used as with conventional 2D scanning. 3D and 4D ultrasound both utilise sound waves to look inside the body. A probe placed on the body emits sound waves into the body, listens for the return echo and generates an image. 4D ultrasound will be similar therefore to a conventional scan in terms of exposure.
