3D ultrasound is an advanced method which captures a true, three-dimensional image of your baby, often allowing the ability to see specific facial features and well-defined formation.
4D scans show moving 3D images of your baby, with time being the fourth dimension.

We do give you our promise we will make every attempt to work around the parameters set before us.
