1. 3D ultrasound

   3D ultrasound is a medical ultrasound technique, often used in obstetric ultrasonography, providing three dimensional images of the fetus. There are several different scanning modes in medical and obstetric ultrasound. The standard common obstetric diagnostic mode is 2D scanning. In 3D fetal scanning, however, instead of the sound waves being sent straight down and reflected back, they are sent at different angles. The returning echoes are processed by a sophisticated computer program resulting in a reconstructed three dimensional volume image of fetus's surface or internal organs, in much the same way as a CT scan machine constructs a CT scan image from multiple x-rays. 3D ultrasounds allow one to see width, height and depth of images in much the same way as 3D movies but no movement is shown. 3D ultrasound was first developed by Olaf von Ramm and Stephen Smith at Duke University in 1987. Clinical use of this technology is an area of intense research activity especially in fetal anomaly scanning but there are also popular uses that have been shown to improve fetal-maternal bonding. 4D fetal ultrasounds are similar to 3D scans, with the difference associated with time: 4D allows a 3-dimensional picture in real time, rather than delayed, due to the lag associated with the computer constructed image, as in classic 3-dimensional ultrasound.²

Examples of 3d ultrasound in a Sentence

1. Larry Rand:

   Especially in low - and middle-income countries with really high preterm birth rates and huge neonatal mortality rates, one of the biggest problems is, there is no ultrasound, and women are not empowered to keep track of their last menstrual cycle. It's often taboo to keep track of or talk about your period, that is one of the biggest problems we have worldwide, and lots of folks have been working on trying to find another way -- ideally an inexpensive test -- to figure out what the gestational age is for any given pregnancy.

2. Nadja Reissland:

   As technology gets more advanced the ultrasound imaging gets better and more precise.

3. Jagat Narula:

   The image quality may not be great, but the image quality is there, it can communicate the message that I'm trying to see, and if I'm going to do a point of care ultrasound on the bedside of a patient, it would give me almost everything that I require.

4. Chris Gast:

   I thought the ad was funny. It was a big hit at the Super Bowl party I was at, and I was surprised how NARAL reacted, having an ultrasound is a very common experience for parents around the country, and I don’t understand why NARAL finds a common everyday experience like having a baby to be a strong political statement.

5. Elizabeth Etkin-Kramer:

   Her feeling is, if something is going on, there is nothing you can do about it, short of termination, i think it would be important to know, and if God forbid she is positive, then we can look closely by ultrasound and get a lot more information.
