3D/4D Ultrasound is Completely Safe for Your Developing Baby
Expectant mothers often wonder if the amazing 3D and 4D ultrasound images provided by advanced systems like the GE Voluson Expert 22 are safe for the fetus. Rest assured, there is an abundance of scientific evidence confirming 3D/4D ultrasound causes no harm to the developing baby when performed correctly by trained professionals.
Ultrasound technology relies on high-frequency soundwaves to produce images, not radiation like X-rays or CT scans. Numerous large clinical studies have found no linkage between ultrasound and adverse effects on fetal growth, birth weight, vision, hearing or neurological development.
Professional organisations like BMUS (British Medical Ultrasound Society) emphasise the safety of both 2D and 3D fetal ultrasound. The FDA also considers obstetric ultrasonography very low risk when used prudently by qualified practitioners.
Our clinicians at London Pregnancy Clinic are highly experienced medical professionals, registered with the the relevant industry bodies. They follow BMUS safety guidelines, keeping exposure times short and operating at lowest power levels to obtain diagnostically satisfactory images. Thermal indexing is carefully monitored.
While 3D/4D ultrasound provides expectant parents with incredible views of their baby in the womb, rest assured it is completely safe for fetal development when performed by our qualified team. The amazing bonding experience far outweighs any negligible risks. Discover worry-free 3D/4D scanning with London Pregnancy Clinic.
