Here at Little Loves, we offer multiple types of sonograms to meet different family needs. Yet if you’re not a sonographer yourself, you may have a hard time distinguishing between all the available options.
Fortunately, we’re here to help! We’ll give you an overview of what to expect with each type of sonogram so you can make the choice that’s right for your family.
Differences Overview
The major differences between these options all lie in the imaging techniques that are use and the level of detail those techniques can provide. As a result, you may also see differences in the cost of each of these sonograms.
2D Sonograms
A 2D sonogram is the classic sonogram that most people have seen. Once, it was the only type of sonogram that was available. With a 2D sonogram you receive a flat, black and white image.
2D sonograms are mostly suitable for medical diagnostics and routine check-ups.
3D Sonograms
We use 3D sonograms primarily for keepsake baby ultrasounds, since they allow parents to see the baby’s facial features with excellent clarity. These images are lifelike and wonderful because they can help you increase the bond between parents and the baby that’s on the way.
These are also useful or medical purposes, as they can offer additional information that 2D sonograms simply aren’t equipped to provide.
4D Sonograms
Want to see your baby actually moving around inside the womb? A 4D sonogram is the way to go. You get a live-action view of your baby in real time. You’ll get to see your little love stretching, clenching their little fist, even yawning!
We can put your baby up on a viewing screen so other loved ones can enjoy the experience as well. Your baby will truly start to feel like a member of your family, long before they take their first breath in the world.
8K Sonograms
8K sonograms offer all the benefits of a 3D scan, but uses advanced editing to fill in your baby’s skin tone. It’ll add shadows, lighting, and textures. You essentially receive a portrait of your baby before your baby is born.
You’ll even get to see your baby’s facial expressions!
HD Sonograms
HD sonograms are high definition sonograms that provide a clear, refined version of the 3D sonogram. These provide anatomical realism but still give you the power to watch your baby in real time, just as you could in a 4D sonogram.
You can still get your own keepsake photograph!
