What is 3D ultrasound scanning?

3D Scanning simply put means adding 3rd dimension to a still image of your baby enabling you to see the shape and features of your baby’s face in a completely different depth to a 2D scan. Using a technique called surface rendering, 3D scanning uses a slightly different shaped transducer (probe that is moved over your tummy) to the traditional 2D (black and white) transducer. This is due to the alignment of crystals inside the transducer which unlike the 2D transducer which are positioned in a straight line, these are positioned in a oblique, transverse and longitudinal arrangement. This allows a 3D scanned image to have more information sent back to the transducer, ultimately allowing you to see your baby as a still image as displayed on our Packages Page.
