3D TVS

What is 3D TVS?

In 3D(short for three-dimensional) fetal scanning, the sound waves are sent at different angles. The returning echoes are processed by a sophisticated computer program resulting in a reconstructed three dimensional volume image.

Benefits :

3D multiplanar surface-rendered views may yield important information to assist in the diagnosis or exclusion of congenital uterine anomalies.
3D is rapidly acquired and can be saved. This can be later reviewed after the completion of scan.
3D volume can be studied in any desired plane when required.
When combined with techniques like saline infusion sonography or gel infusion sonography, it may be possible to visualise endometrial cavity and the lower genital tract in great detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it better that 2D scan?

2D is still the standard mode of diagnosis of most of the conditions. 3D provides additional views and
can help with diagnosis, especially in congenital uterine abnormalities.

When to get 3D scan done?

At our centre we incorporate 3D scanning routinely in TVS on need basis. 3D reconstruction is better
done in later half of your menstrual cycle.

Is it safe?

Yes. 3D technology also uses sound waves to take pictures and is safe.
