Here at First Encounters Ultrasound, we offer 4D scans from 24 weeks to 32 weeks; however, we recommend 25-29 weeks as the optimum time for a 4D scan, as this allows us to accommodate babies who are developing at a slower or faster rate than average.

3D and 4D scans offer greater detail than traditional 2D ultrasound images. A 3D ultrasound works by sending sound waves from multiple angles. This produces a 3D image, and the added detail makes it easier to see smaller structures, such as fingers and toes, as well as facial features.
