Find Out About The 3D Ultrasound Topeka Has To Offer

By Katrina Wheeler


3D ultrasound Topeka is one of the most exciting paths for parents to walk down in the journey to meeting their new baby. This revolutionary technique allows eager families and expectant mothers to see a realistic image of the unborn baby and hear its heartbeat accurately.

The technique of 3D scans was first developed in 1987 and the uses have expanded massively since then. In a 3D ultrasound, sound waves are bounced at the fetus from different angles. Sophisticated computer programs then stitch these sound waves together to form a three dimensional image. These images that portray width, height and depth, are then cast onto various monitors where it is possible to explain the imagery to clients.

It was first developed in 1987 and technology has advanced a lot since then. When an sonogram is taken, sound waves are bounced onto the fetus and straight back. In a 3D ultrasound these sound waves are projected at different angles and reflect back. These returning echoes are then processed by advanced computer technology and an image is constructed of what the fetus looks like internally and externally. These reconstructed images allow height, width and depth to be seen.

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.

According to research done on animals it has been suggested that reduced fetal weight, neurological changes and development impairing may occur when over exposure to the scans occur. The risks involved would depend on how long the fetus was exposed, the intensity of this exposure and the frequency of the exposure.

Advancements in technology and radio links have meant that 3D ultrasound technology is becoming available in third world countries. Revolutionary equipment has individuals taking scans in the most rural parts of the world. These sound waves are then uploaded with mobile links to central processing units. Imagery is then stitched together and accurate images can be obtained worlds apart. This can also be used as a diagnostics tool. It is now possible for much less skilled personnel to take the scan, as the technically difficult process is handled remotely.

Recent developments in technology have meant that the world of 3D ultrasounds, which was largely reserved for first world countries, has started to become an option in rural areas in all parts of the world. Raw data is collected at the rural point and is sent via mobile links to a central processing station where the images are obtained. This opens a whole new world of medicine for poor countries.

3D ultrasound Topeka is among the most established centers in the world, with first class service and attention to its clients. Not only can you expect highly advanced technology - but down to earth and friendly service from the staff.
