3D Ultrasound

In recent years, 3D ultrasound has transformed foetal imaging, providing detailed views of the womb for expectant parents and medical experts. It boasts an 88-100% accuracy in diagnosing foetal abnormalities, marking it as a pivotal tool in OB-GYN (obstetrics and gynaecology) practices. This guide delves into the procedures, benefits, and results of 3D ultrasound.

What is 3D Ultrasound?

During 3D ultrasound, high-frequency sound waves are utilised to create detailed, three-dimensional images of the fetus and internal structures. It offers accurate and more life-like visuals compared to traditional 2D ultrasound.

Why is it Done?

  • To confirm pregnancy and rule out ectopic pregnancy
  • To look for multiple babies (twins, triplets or more)
  • To detect fetal anomalies and abnormalities
  • To monitor fetal movements, heart rate, and breathing patterns
  • To estimate fetal weight and determine optimal delivery planning
  • To assess the baby’s position in late pregnancy
  • To check amniotic fluid levels to guide optimal delivery options

Types of 3D Ultrasound Investigations

  1. Transvaginal and Transabdominal Ultrasound
    • Transvaginal Ultrasound: It provides detailed images of the uterus, ovaries, and pelvic structures while using a probe to access through the vaginal cavity.
    • Transabdominal Ultrasound: It offers a broader view of abdominal and pelvic organs with a transducer placed on the abdomen. Both are safe during pregnancy as they do not involve radiation exposure.
  2. Pelvic Ultrasound Scan with 3D
    This scan offers a comprehensive view of the uterus, ovaries, and pelvic structures, aiding in diagnosing conditions like ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids. Doppler studies assess blood flow, identifying potential obstructions affecting fertility.
  3. Hydrosonogram
    Also known as saline infusion sonography, this procedure enhances the visibility of the uterine cavity with saline injection. It helps detect abnormalities such as endometrial polyps or scar tissue.
  4. HyCoSy (Hysterosalpingo-Contrast Sonography)
    HyCoSy evaluates fallopian tubes using a contrast agent and 3D ultrasound to detect the flow and identify blockages that can impact fertility and chances of pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Transvaginal ultrasound scans are painless, minimally invasive procedures; although, some women do experience discomfort.

Unlike X-ray based investigations, ultrasounds use sonic waves. They are known to be safe even during pregnancy and are an essential part of prenatal care.

Ultrasound scans are important for monitoring follicle development and response to fertility medications during ovarian stimulation. A transvaginal scan is performed before undergoing ovarian stimulation to assess the patient’s ovarian reserve and design a suitable protocol for ovarian stimulation.

Ultrasound scans are used to identify issues like t-shaped uterus, damaged or blocked fallopian tubes, adhesions, polyps, and fibroids. In some cases, surgical interventions like hysteroscopy and laparoscopy can help in treating these issues.
