3D-4D Ultrasound

Upper/Lower/Whole Abdomen Obstetrical Ultrasound (USG) and Biophysical Profile (BPP) are crucial prenatal diagnostic tools used to monitor the health and development of the fetus during pregnancy.

Upper/Lower/Whole Abdomen Obstetrical USG: This imaging technique involves the use of high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the fetus, placenta, and surrounding structures within the mother’s abdomen. It helps assess fetal growth, detect any abnormalities or structural anomalies, determine the position of the fetus, and evaluate the health of the amniotic fluid.

Upper/Lower/Whole Abdomen USG is performed at different stages of pregnancy to monitor the baby’s growth and development. It provides valuable information to healthcare providers to ensure the well-being of both the mother and the baby.

Biophysical Profile (BPP): BPP is a prenatal assessment tool that combines fetal ultrasound with fetal heart rate monitoring to evaluate the baby’s overall health and well-being. It assesses various parameters, including fetal movements, muscle tone, breathing movements, amniotic fluid volume, and fetal heart rate patterns.

During a BPP, the healthcare provider examines the fetus’s movements, breathing, muscle tone, and amniotic fluid levels through ultrasound imaging. Additionally, they monitor the fetal heart rate to assess its variability and reactivity.

The BPP score is calculated based on the results of these assessments, with a score of 8 or above considered normal, indicating that the baby is doing well. A score below 8 may indicate the need for further evaluation or intervention, depending on the specific circumstances.

Together, Upper/Lower/Whole Abdomen Obstetrical USG and BPP play a crucial role in monitoring the health and development of the fetus throughout pregnancy. These diagnostic tests help healthcare providers identify any potential issues early on, allowing for timely interventions and ensuring the best possible outcome for both the mother and the baby.
