4D color Doppler ultrasound of fingers and toes

Four-dimensional color ultrasound is a more popular B-ultrasound examination nowadays. It is widely used and can be used for pregnancy examinations, gynecological examinations, kidney function, abdomen and other examinations. Next, we mainly talk about the application of four-dimensional color ultrasound in prenatal examinations. The use of four-dimensional color ultrasound can comprehensively grasp the movement and growth of the fetus in the uterus, and can also perform fetal malformation screening. Many pregnant mothers wonder what the scope of the four-dimensional color ultrasound examination is. Let's talk about it: Can the four-dimensional color ultrasound see the fingers and toes? What are the four-dimensional color ultrasound examination items?

Can four-dimensional color ultrasound be used to see fingers and toes? The best time for four-dimensional color ultrasound examination is between 20 and 28 weeks of pregnancy, because at this time the various organs of the fetus are relatively complete, and the amniotic fluid in the uterus is sufficient, which facilitates the fetus to move freely in the uterus, so that the fetus can be fully controlled. Generally speaking, four-dimensional color ultrasound can clearly identify the growth and development of the fetus's limbs, and the fingers and toes can be seen clearly. However, in actual examinations, if the fetus's posture is incorrect or the fetus clenches its fists, it will affect our observations. Pregnant mothers need to be fully prepared for the four-dimensional color ultrasound and allow the fetus to exercise sufficiently so that the examination can be very clear.

What are the four-dimensional color ultrasound examination items? The main items include: Central nervous system level, mainly screening abnormalities such as hydrocephalus, anencephaly, spina bifida, etc. Urogenital system level, including: hydronephrosis, urethral obstruction, etc. Digestive tract level, including: protrusion of internal organs, megacolon, etc. Other levels of deformity include: short limb deformity, fetal malformation, congenital heart disease, etc.

According to the above, we know that under normal circumstances, four-dimensional color ultrasound will check the fetal physical deformities. The prerequisite is that the fetus moves enough, and we can see the growth and development of the fetus's fingers and toes. However, there are unexpected situations. For example, if the fetus's posture is wrong or the fetus clenches its fists, it will affect our observation of the fingers or toes. This is also very normal, and pregnant mothers do not need to worry too much.
