What problems can be detected by 4D color ultrasound?

Generally, four-dimensional color ultrasound can detect abnormalities such as brain malformations, facial malformations, spinal malformations, cardiac malformations, and urinary system malformations. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Brain Malformations

Four-dimensional color ultrasound can assess fetal brain development and detect abnormalities such as anencephaly, hydrocephalus, microcephaly, spina bifida, and meningocele.

2. Facial Malformations

By measuring and observing the morphology of the fetal eye spacing, soft palate, hard palate, and upper lip, four-dimensional color ultrasound can screen for facial malformations such as cleft lip.

3. Spinal Malformations

Four-dimensional color ultrasound can detect whether there is a neck mass in the fetus, whether the spine is straight, or whether there are deformities such as curvature, interruption, or scoliosis.

4. Cardiac Malformations

Four-dimensional color ultrasound can visualize the size, shape, structure, and blood flow of the fetal heart, aiding in the detection of congenital heart diseases such as ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and abnormalities of the four cardiac chambers.

5. Urinary System Malformations

Four-dimensional color ultrasound can assess fetal urinary system development and detect abnormalities such as hydronephrosis, renal agenesis, polycystic kidney, megacystis, and urethral obstruction.

It is recommended to undergo four-dimensional color ultrasound examination under the guidance of a qualified physician and to make comprehensive evaluations in combination with other medical imaging techniques and clinical findings. Prior to undergoing a four-dimensional color ultrasound examination, it is important to follow medical advice and properly prepare to enhance the effectiveness of the examination.
