I got curious about the technology, so I looked it up; there was a brief description on Wikipedia.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/3D_ultrasound\">Wikipedia<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>3D ultrasound is a medical ultrasound technique, often used in obstetric ultrasonography (during pregnancy), providing three-dimensional images of the fetus.<\/p>\n<p>There are several different scanning modes in medical and obstetric ultrasound. The standard common obstetric diagnostic mode is 2D scanning.[1] In 3D fetal scanning, however, instead of the sound waves being sent straight down and reflected back, they are sent at different angles. The returning echoes are processed by a sophisticated computer program resulting in a reconstructed three-dimensional volume image of the fetus&#8217;s surface or internal organs, in much the same way as a CT scan machine constructs a CT scan image from multiple x-rays.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our granddaughter had her prenatal 3D ultrasound scan yesterday.
