Information On 3D Ultrasound Ohio Procedures

By Jocelyn Davidson


The opportunity to get a sonogram is available in many ways. A sonogram operator offers you the chance of having a special 3d ultrasound Ohio, meaning it is a three dimension pictures unlike the ones of old shown in black and white at the first trimester checkup. The way that it is done could differ, but results are normally about the same no matter were it is that you have it completed.

The average time frame that doctors suggest having this done is between your seventh and eighth month of pregnancy. It allows the parents to see details normally unable to be seen on a two dimensional ultrasound. This third dimension allows for seeing length, girth and even depth perception that many others are not able to see on a first visit.

This procedure can be done as early as twenty weeks but may not have ideal results, or be as detailed as it could be. The gestation period has much to do with how detailed the picture could be, as the growth of the baby is monitored in this manner. There are other tools that are used to monitor growth such as girth measurements, but to be certain that the baby is growing ideally and has ideal fluid, this procedure is a preferred method.

The session starts with you baring the entire stomach area so the doctor can put a bit of clear gel onto your abdomen. It's a water based product so you will not have a stain if it gets on your clothes. The wand, which is also called a transducer, is put on top of the gel so the sound waves that get sent into the amniotic fluid are able to be seen clearly as an image reflecting off your child.

The wand then gets moved to other areas where the view may be better to see the baby. Different methods are used like perineum, surface planing and trans-vaginal planing. Any of these could be employed to get the best view. It isn't a requirement to use more than one to get an ideal picture, but it is based on the skill of your doctor as to what will offer the best views.

Most doctors suggest drinking more water than you normally take in for at least a week prior, so the amniotic fluid is ample and clear to get a better view. Trans-vaginal involves a transducer being introduced vaginally to gain imaging while perineum offers an external probe view like the surface view on top of the abdomen. The use of all three together gives a very full and complete image that offers more than two dimensions.

You can use just one method and this work just as well as using all three. While this is going on, you will see the still image of your unborn child's fingers, facial features, toes and sex on a screen that can be put onto a DVD for you.

Some insurance coverages do not offer this as an option since they can be seen as a keepsake. It can still be an option, but you would need to determine if other payment would be required. Ask your insurance company about this to be certain. For details on your radiology options, talk to your doctor.
