Patient's question:
I am 16 weeks pregnant. I have discussed it with my husband, and we plan to go to the hospital at 20 weeks for a 4D ultrasound to check the baby's growth and development and see if there are any issues. But yesterday, Sister Zhao from the next door said that a systematic ultrasound is sufficient and there's no need for a 4D ultrasound. However, I don't know the difference between the two. Which one is clearer and more comprehensive? Which one is better? Price is not an issue. I just want to know the condition of the child.Doctor's answer:
Color Doppler is a stereoscopic dynamic display method for assessing fetal conditions, primarily used to examine fetal tumors, umbilical cord diseases, and heart diseases! Four-dimensional color Doppler can more accurately detect fetal malformations! Regular B can only check the basic conditions of the fetus～! If it's a structural anomaly scan, it's best to use four-dimensional color Doppler! Generally, system B is only understandable to B doctors, while four-dimensional color Doppler is still understandable to mothers!In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with four-dimensional color Doppler need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life. A positive attitude is very helpful for a full recovery from the disease. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you!
