This unfortunately only lasted for a year as the size of Gauteng and the hectic traffic made this unique service pretty difficult. Hospitals can be clinical, waiting times eternal and traffic jams frustrating. Generally people have a fixed location and clients have go to them. For the past 5 years I’ve been in the corporate world selling ultrasound systems and teaching people how to use them. National Diploma Diagnostic Radiography, Bachelor of Technology Diagnostic Radiography, Bachelor of Technology Ultrasound and I’m currently trying to complete my Master’s in Ultrasound.

Always doing something which most times is work related. 4D scans can enhance the parental bonding experience prior to the arrival of the new bundle of joy. Expecting parents and siblings can have a chance to see the baby and create this pre-birth bond which can be instrumental in drawing the whole family closer together. The baby can sometimes have its arms over its face or have its face against the placenta or uterine wall, making imaging of the face difficult. The more fluid there is the clearer the images are. From the moment you fall pregnant, you begin an incredible journey which changes your life in the most amazing, and sometimes challenging, ways. Imaging this new life to have a visual record from the first sighting to the very important diagnostic scans to the breathtaking 4D scan is something that this digital age has allowed us to do. The thickness of the fluid behind the baby’s neck is measured. The NT measurement, combined with blood tests and the mom’s age, can calculate a risk for Down’s Syndrome. The main objective of this scan is to assess all the structural anatomy of the baby. Determining the sex of your unborn child should be an easy enough task but it does tend to have some challenges. Increased maternal adipose can result in an image that is not too clear from resolution point of view. The umbilical cord sometimes lies in the region of interest hiding the gender. Sub-optimal ultrasound equipment can produce a poor quality image. An inexperienced person performing the scan can result in the incorrect gender being confirmed. When looking from the bottom up, it looks like a hotdog with the sausage hanging out the bun. The middle line is usually longer than the outer 2 lines. As the pregnancy progresses and the baby starts to develop fat the 3 white lines start looking more like a hamburger.
