Ultrasound scans were introduced over 40 years ago and are considered to be the safest, non-invasive and accurate investigation of a baby. They have become an indispensable obstetric tool and play an important role in the care of every pregnant woman. At Sonomommy, pictures of the moving fetus are shown on a monitor screen, accomplished with very high-frequency sound waves. They are emitted from a transducer which is placed in contact with the mother’s abdomen.
Viewing an ultrasound of your baby in 3D or 4D is much easier to see to the untrained eye than conventional 2D scans. The attraction of being able to look at the face and movements of your baby before birth has been enthusiastically reported in parenting and health magazines to have a catalytic effect for mothers to bond with their babies before birth.
The greatest risks arising from the use of ultrasounds are brought about by inadequately trained staff and using poor equipment. Sonomommy requires that all our sonographers have completed their ultrasound schooling and training and have a minimum of one year of experience before joining our staff.
Our ultrasound equipment is the state-of-the-art GE Voluson E8. This machine is the best 2D/3D/4D ultrasound machine available. The E8 allows the images to demonstrate extraordinary image quality from the first to the third trimester. GE continues to lead the industry’s technological advances, and our equipment is regularly updated to give you access to the most advanced technology available, providing images with amazing clarity and allowing you to see your baby in motion.
