What does 3D color Doppler ultrasound check?

We all know that pregnant women need to do different prenatal examinations during pregnancy in order to better understand the development of the fetus. As for the three-dimensional color ultrasound that is common in prenatal examinations, many pregnant mothers want to know whether three-dimensional color ultrasound should be tested? Let's discuss it today.

Three-dimensional color ultrasound completes the three-dimensional imaging of local tissues and organs of the body. It can be used to scan the volume of the abdomen and small organs and accurately measure local tissues and organs. For example, by examining the skin on the back of the fetus's neck and measuring the thickness of the subcutaneous tissue, genetic (chromosome) abnormalities can be detected within 9-13 weeks of pregnancy. The outstanding feature of 3D color ultrasound is that it can capture partial 3D images of the growth and development of fetuses in different weeks of pregnancy in the uterine cavity. From the 3D image, you can clearly see the fetus in the uterine cavity and its lifelike and unique facial expressions.

Scope of diagnosis by 3D color ultrasound examination:

1. It can promptly diagnose fetal malformations, including surface malformations and visceral malformations, especially head and face malformations that cannot be displayed by two-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound, such as cleft lip and palate, flat face, triangular head, incomplete mandible, flat nose, anteroverted nasal cavity, monocularity, macrostomia (transverse facial cleft), etc.

2. The information can be scanned and displayed step by step in all directions at will, providing a more detailed analysis of the fetus.

3. Accurate positioning of the fetus in the uterus.

4. Confirm the baby’s brain disease.

5. Clearly display the internal characteristics, surface shape and spatial position of gynecological tumors, which is helpful for early distinction between benign and malignant changes.

6. Accurately measure the size of the ovaries and eggs, clearly display the egg size, roundness and ovulation detection, etc. According to the detailed introduction, we can understand that three-dimensional color ultrasound is a relatively important routine physical examination item during pregnancy. It can enable us to clearly grasp the development status of the fetus. We hope that all pregnant mothers will attach great importance to this three-dimensional color ultrasound.
