The best time for color Doppler ultrasound during pregnancy

The four-dimensional color ultrasound scanner is currently the most advanced color ultrasound equipment in the world. Four-dimensional color ultrasound can perform color ultrasound examination on the fetus, and can display the color, face, and internal organ development of the fetus in three dimensions. It can also make early diagnosis of fetal malformations such as cleft lip and palate, cleft palate, bone growth abnormalities, cardiovascular malformations, etc. The best time to do a four-dimensional color ultrasound varies from person to person. The price of a four-dimensional color ultrasound is higher than that of a traditional B-ultrasound, generally between 300 and 400 yuan.

Four-dimensional color ultrasound is a type of B-ultrasound. It can show the condition of the fetus more vividly and clearly than ordinary B-ultrasound, and help pregnant parents understand the growth and development of the fetus. Some pregnant women plan to do four-dimensional color ultrasound after knowing they are pregnant, but in fact it is not possible yet. Below we will give you a detailed introduction to the best time for four-dimensional color ultrasound.

The best time for four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound

In fact, the health status of every pregnant woman is different, and the time for doing four-dimensional color ultrasound is not fixed. There is no standard best time. At present, medicine recommends that pregnant women do four-dimensional color ultrasound between 20 and 28 weeks, which can be used to check whether the baby's body has defects, deformities, disability, etc.

It is not recommended for pregnant women to do four-dimensional color ultrasound too early. Before 20 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal organs and body have not fully developed, and the examination results at this time are not accurate. After 20 weeks, the fetal development has gradually occurred, and it is best to do four-dimensional color ultrasound to check whether the fetus is growing healthily.

When is the best time to do 4D color Doppler ultrasound?

Because pregnant women are different from each other, the timing of doing four-dimensional color ultrasound varies from person to person. You need to discuss with your doctor and do it according to the doctor's instructions. Generally speaking, the best time to take a four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound is during the 24th to 28th week of pregnancy. At this stage, the fetal structure has been formed, the size of the fetus and the amniotic fluid are moderate, the movement space in the uterine cavity is large, the echo effect of the fetal bones is relatively small, and the image is clearer.

However, if you want to take a full-body image of the fetus, you can choose to do a four-dimensional color ultrasound in the early pregnancy, because the fetus is not big at this time and the baby's whole body can be photographed. But it must be noted that it is not recommended to do a four-dimensional color ultrasound in January and February. There is still a lot of controversy whether it is possible to do a four-dimensional color ultrasound during this time period.
