4D Baby Scan: Does It Possess Any Risks When Compared to 2D Scan?

by Adam Smith Life Through the Lens
Pregnancy is one of the most awaited moment in a woman's life. This is the time when not only you realize that you are carrying a life within yourself but you also note that you will become part of this life for a lifetime. These are the feelings that cannot be measured and these can be satisfied only at the sight of the baby.

A baby scan in Liverpool, uses camera, oscilloscopes and video recording equipment in order to capture the images effectively. When a pregnant woman has this scan taken, she is able to see the size of the baby, have an idea of the date of birth and see the condition of the health of the baby's heart and other vital organs.

The first ultrasound scan equipment used was 2D technology. The scan works by having a machine produce the ultrasound and create an image of the examined area. In this scan, you could only see unborn child in the form of static images or pictures. However, there are a few risks associated with it. First of all, it is difficult to determine if the level of the ultrasound is harmful. There have been some studies that have shown that if these sounds get higher, the end result might be a change in cell structure or even worse, death of the cell. These same studies have also shown that the high frequency alters body parts or tissues under examination. These scan also risk the probability of noticing something out of the usual and normal range. But overall, the 2D scan is safe.

With new technology being introduced every day, we now have 3D and 4D scans. Technology has made the bonding between parents and the child strong further through these scans. The 3D and 4D ultrasound scans are more advanced than the 2D as the mother gets to see a clearer picture of the womb.

If you are undergoing 4D baby scan in Liverpool, this is almost same like that of the three-dimensional scanning or 3D scans. The only difference is, imaging is made consecutively that such successive action produces a four-dimensional movement or images.

The 4D scan is as safe as the 2D scan.  This is mainly because there are no radiations used to view the internal organs. However, the 4D scan has a higher risk in terms of raised temperatures. Scientific studies have shown that sound waves cause an increase in temperature in the tissues they pass through. This is mainly because for sound to be produced particles have to vibrate and bump on each other. This causes production of heat, which in the long run raises temperature. The level of increase in temperature depends on the durations of the scan and the acoustic power.

Studies show that an increase in temperature by 1.5 degrees is safe. This increase is rarely reached during the scan. Until the temperature is raised to 41 degrees, it does not cause any potential harm. Again, the temperature is rarely raised to this point. This fact proves that 4D ultrasound scans are safe too. The acoustic outputs in 4D baby scans are not soaring enough to produce risky effects.
