Ultrasound Centres For Gender Determination And Other Services

What is Ultrasound or Ultrasonography?

Ultrasonography is the medical procedure that uses sound waves to view the internal tissues of the body and to produce the images on a screen for the use of doctors and medical help providers. It is safe when compared to an X-ray or CAT scan because it does not use any iodizing radiation and is a safe medical procedure which can be done even during pregnancy.

3D/4D Sonogram Centres

The ultrasound centres have a trained medical sonographer, who heads the centre and may have one or more sonographers who work for her depending upon the number of patients who visit the centre. These sonographers give the expectant mother and their family a sneak a peek of their precious baby. They provide an opportunity for the family and the expectant mother to bond with the child, thereby encouraging the mother to take care of her health and well-being with commitment.

14 Week Pregnancy Ultrasound

14 WEEK PREGNANCY ULTRASOUND is very useful method to determine the gender of the baby in the womb. Though, this can be done within a few seconds, using a sonogram, it may require a longer time, if the baby has its legs crossed or the cord runs through the center part of the body. The sonographer has to patiently and carefully wait until the baby co-operates enough, for the sonographer to determine the gender and take pictures.

There are five different types of ultrasound available. They are

• Transabdominal ultrasound

• Transvaginal ultrasound

• Doppler ultrasound

• 3-D ultrasound

• 4-D ultrasound
  

The most commonly used one is the Transabdominal ultrasound.  The heartbeat of the baby can be heard using the Doppler ultrasound and it is also used for checking the blood flow. The 3-D ultrasound takes thousand of images of the baby at once and it almost looks like a photograph.  4-D ultrasound is similar to 3-D ultrasound but shows the movement of the baby in a video.
