Patient's question:
I often have stomach pain, especially on the left side. I just had a 3D color ultrasound, but nothing was found. I just want to know if the child might have another case of malformation? How many weeks into pregnancy can a 4D color ultrasound be done?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, the best time for 4D ultrasound is between 24 and 32 weeks of pregnancy, as it can clearly reveal the various organs of the fetus and understand the growth and development of the fetus. It allows for a careful observation of the overall structure of the head, limbs, and organs to check for any abnormalities. Due to the improvement in fetal growth and development and the continuous increase in amniotic fluid during this period, 2D imaging performs better under conditions surrounded by liquid, reflecting the structure of most of the fetal organs and the overall growth and development of the fetus. At this stage, the fetus has a full face and clear facial features, making it the best period for confirmation. The success rate of imaging is high, and it holds the most significance for clinical diagnosis and confirmation.
