Ultrasound is the most important prenatal pregnancy test, which provides very valuable information about the baby's development. Apart from its obvious function as a medical diagnosis, ultrasounds performed during pregnancy follow-up have a high emotional component, since parents can see their baby moving inside the mother's womb.
Thanks to technological advances, prenatal diagnostic methods are increasingly complex and the latest developments are 5D or 4D HDlive ultrasound thanks to which you can see super realistic images of your baby.
Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, the new GE Voluson E10 ultrasound machine allows a better view of moving images and in-depth study of the baby's vascular system and spine since week 10.
These are three-dimensional images in motion, the difference is that, thanks to its volumetric image treatment software, higher resolution, sharper images are obtained, and even shades of shadows are established that give a more realistic look to the baby face
It allows to detect up to 90% of the malformations that have to do with the morphology of the baby, but it does not replace traditional 2D ultrasound, but by providing more realistic images, it improves the visualization of subtle anatomical structures and complements 2D ultrasound to diagnose abnormalities. It also allows the evaluation of blood flows by color doppler, fundamental in the study of different immunological and hematological pathologies.
The importance in the first quarter
High frequency vaginal probes, together with three-dimensional technology allow the specialist to evaluate the vascular system, placental surface, brain structures and spine early from weeks 9 or 10, advancing up to 5 weeks the diagnosis of a possible malformation.
With this information, and together with the analysis of chromosomopathic markers, a more accurate diagnosis of the baby's development in the early stages of pregnancy can be made, in addition to being able to see images of your baby with a high level of realism when it is still Very tiny
The new ultrasound offers 2D and 4D 2D images in very high definition with 4DHDlive technology a realism hitherto never achieved, is what has also been called the 5D ultrasound or the realistic view.
This technology is available only in some centers in Spain. In the Community of Madrid, Gineco is the first center that has it at this time in the downtown area, as well as the only one that has the electronic probe, which allows great quality and depth of image for a more reliable diagnosis.
