The Most Advanced 3D Ultrasound Topeka Has In Store

By Katrina Wheeler


Parents to be are jumping with joy as 3D ultrasound Topeka is advancing to new heights and technologies. Expecting parents can now monitor the development or their unborn child very accurately and from a very early stage of the pregnancy. Technology like this has never been available until now. Expecting parents should take advantage of this fantastic offer.

3D ultrasound is a technique used by medical professionals to view and monitor an unborn fetus during pregnancy. Obstetric ultrasonography is the term used to describe the medical sonogram used to monitor this unborn fetus. A three dimensional image is projected onto a monitor for viewing.

3D scans is the most common way to tell the sex of the unborn child. In a fetus as young as 12 weeks it is possible to medically establish the sex of the baby. It is common practice to have the scan done at 20 weeks when the size and positioning of the fetus is better. There are various clinics and ultrasound centers that claim an accurate determination of the sex is possible at 15 weeks. In many cases however it is impossible to get an accurate result this early.

With a mere success rate of 50% at 15 weeks it is inevitable that expectant mothers then need to return at 20 weeks to repeat the procedure. This can be a costly affair and seems unnecessary. It is best advised to wait until 20 weeks to have the first scan.

Technology has advanced significantly in the last decade and 3D ultrasound now has even more benefits than before. Sonograms are being used to detect fetal anomalies of the heart, having empowering effects and offering options to clients. Testing is also under way to establish neurological and behavioral elements that can diagnose cerebral palsy in early fetus stages.

One of the problems with 3D ultrasounds is the false sense of security it could bring. This occurs largely in financially troubled clients who often don't have the proper medical and prenatal care needed. When the scan results are explained and the good news comes that everything is right on track with the baby they often neglect their prenatal routine. This could mean anything from not going for further checkups, not taking prenatal vitamins and being careless. Scan centers should stress heavily that the scan results are no substitute for prenatal care.

One of the things that 3D scans is used most often for is determining the sex of the baby. Medically it is believed to be able to tell the sex of the baby as early as 12 weeks into the pregnancy. In most cases however parents are advised to wait till 20 weeks so a clearer image is possible. This also eliminates the requirement for more scans if the sex can't be noted as early as 12 weeks. Most parents are advised to come for a scan between 26 and 28 weeks to get the clearest image possible.

The scans are usually visualized onto screens at the consultation while the imagery is explained. Most centers also offer their customers a photo of the scan. DVDs and internet links of entire scans are often offered. 3D ultrasound Topeka has some of the most advanced technology in the field and are trusted to offer a professional sonogram service.
