3D ultrasound is a medical ultrasound technique, often used during pregnancy, providing three-dimensional images of your fetus.
4D ultrasound is similar to 3D ultrasound images except that movements can be viewed and recorded!
Below are pictures gathered from different scanning sources:

2D Scans
Is the black and white image you are used to see. This is a grayscale image of your baby produced by sound waves. The 2D image is very important as we do most of diagnostic imaging on the 2D. We also need to do a 2D image before we can switch to 3D or 4D. The quality of our 2D image influence our 3D/4D image.

3D Scans
This is the yellow brown image that took the world by storm. The image of the baby’s face has improved in the last 12 years. The pixels is smaller and we are creating smoother imaging. The role of 3D has changed from a nice to have to a diagnostic tool. The 3D is a still image of the fetus.

4D Scans
The movement of 3D. Time was added to 3D so we could see the baby moving in real time thus 4D. The 4D image also improved with time as we try to get as close as possible to real time movement. We hope your baby is co-operating so we might show you a yawn, swallowing fluid or opening the eyes.
