Thanks to the 4D ultrasounds o 3D we get a little closer to our baby. But as technology evolves by leaps and bounds, with the new 5D we are able to see the baby much better and this makes it easier for us to enjoy it before birth, but it is also beneficial for doctors to see if there is any type of trouble. As thanks to 5D ultrasound, much more realistic images are achieved.
How can we translate it? Well, saying that these images give us a much more realistic result than the ultrasounds that we all already know. For what is a great advance, whichever way you look at it. But, Do you know its main characteristics and when is it advisable to perform a 5D ultrasound?
What are the characteristics of a 5D ultrasound?
It has to be said that It is a non-invasive test and this makes us stay a little calmer. Because during it images of the baby will be made in real time. No doubt, we have already mentioned two quite important features, but 5D ultrasound still has many others prepared that you should know about.
- The result of the image obtained will be very similar to its appearance in reality. So that thing of waiting 9 months to be able to see their faces, has already been left in the background, because we can do it a little earlier with this technique.
- In addition to the images, you can get a video, which is composed of several photos. Which makes the realism even greater when you see it in motion.
- Parents will be able to see if the baby is moving and even gesticulating.
- By extracting more accurate information It will be possible to see if there is any type of fetal malformation. Both in the brain and in the spine, For example.
- Image quality is totally superior to previous ultrasounds. Since more light can be added in angles that do not have it and even modify the color of each image, which will lead to a better result.
When to do a 5D ultrasound?
It is true that we will always be anxious to see how the pregnancy goes and also to see our baby. But this type of ultrasound is recommended after week 25 and before 30 or in said week. The reason is because until week 20, approximately, the body can be seen well but not so much the features, so we must wait to obtain more precise data. Hence, if we spend more than week 30 or 32, the amniotic fluid will prevent us from seeing as clearly as we would like. Still, we have to mention that we can't always get the result we were expecting. That is, it may be that in various situations not everything is seen so clearly and these situations are when the baby is poorly positioned or when the mother is obese. In addition to the amniotic fluid, as we have mentioned, it can make it difficult to capture these images.
Tips for getting an ultrasound
We have already commented that it is not an invasive test, far from it. We all know what an ultrasound is like and in this case it was not going to be less. But it is true that so that everything goes smoothly and we get the best images, we can also contribute a little on our part. It is said that it is advisable to have drunk water before undergoing this test. Not too much but the bladder is a little full. Perhaps it is your gynecologist or gynecologist who recommends it, but it is usual that before eating some sweet food, the baby moves. So, you can try to get him to make some kind of movement and be able to catch him red-handed. This will make us have the desired moving images that we will not stop seeing over and over again. Now you know the advantages and everything you are going to achieve with a 5D ultrasound.
