Expectant moms in East Orlando can now see real-time 3D images of their unborn babies at Florida Hospital East Orlando.  The 4D Ultrasound, which uses painless sound waves to create enhanced images never before possible, is offering expectant couples their very first baby pictures.  “The experience was unforgettable.  I was 20 weeks pregnant at the time of my scan and it was unbelievable to see the definition in her hands, and facial expressions,” said expectant mom, Jessica Benoit.
 
With 4D imaging, patients and physicians can view 3D images of anatomy in motion. By obtaining up to 16 scan volumes per second, images are displayed on a monitor in real time, going far beyond the boundaries of traditional ultrasound imaging.  “I watched her rubbing her eyes, and she gave a huge yawn.  The scan was so lifelike, it was like she was lying right by my side,” Benoit said.
 
Prenatal ultrasound has been used for years as a diagnostic tool.  But, the standard 2D Ultrasound creates an abstract image with barely definable features.  Now, with 4D technology, parents can see a 3D picture detailing the baby’s features and facial expressions.  And, with the addition of the fourth dimension of real time, they can actually see the fetus move in the womb in 3D.

“The 4D images are truly remarkable and we are pleased to be able to offer 4D technology to our patients in East Orlando,” said Kimberly Eisen, manager of ultrasound at Florida Hospital East Orlando.
