Ultrasound technology has evolved from 2D to 3D and 4D imaging, providing clearer views of the fetus and reproductive organs. At Dr Meriem Alami Merrouni's clinic on Saint-Louis Street in Fes, modern equipment is used. This article is for awareness and does not replace a medical examination.
2D vs 3D vs 4D: what's the difference?
- 2D: classic imaging for everyday medical diagnosis
- 3D: static three-dimensional view of fetal face or uterus
- 4D: real-time 3D video of fetal movements
- Medical diagnosis relies mainly on 2D; 3D/4D are complementary
Uses in gynecology and obstetrics
Transvaginal pelvic ultrasound for uterus and ovaries, dating and anatomy scans in pregnancy, and 3D for uterine malformations or polyps.
Is 3D/4D ultrasound safe?
Yes, when used following ALARA principles (as low as reasonably achievable). Extended recreational 4D sessions are discouraged. Consult your Fes clinic to schedule the exam at the appropriate time.
