4D ultrasound represents the difference between video and a still photograph. Through this revolutionary technology, a 3D image is continuously updated providing a "live action" view that leads to a number of medical benefits. Physicians and sonographers can better analyze fetal development so you'll know what to expect and can feel confident during your pregnancy.

In contrast to other 3D imaging diagnostic processes, 4D allows your doctor to visualize internal anatomy moving in real-time. For example: movement patterns of fetuses allow conclusions to be drawn about their development; and the accuracy of ultrasound guided biopsies is enhanced thanks to the visualization of needle movements in real time. This advanced technology helps physicians and sonographers to detect or rule out any number of issues, like vascular anomalies or genetic syndromes.

In addition to analyzing fetal development, GE ultrasound systems can be used to determine fetal age, evaluate multiple and/or high-risk pregnancies, detect fetal and placental abnormalities, identify structural problems with the uterus, and to determine ectopic pregnancies and other abnormalities of pregnancy. GE Healthcare ultrasound systems can also be used for breast imaging, interventional urology, and general imaging.

Every year GE continues to evolve our ultrasound technology. We introduce breakthroughs from our scientists and engineers designed to provide clinicians and patients with information that helps provide improved care, peace of mind and good health.
