About the Scan
What is a 3D 4D Obstetric Scan?
A 3D 4D Obstetric Scan, also known as a 3D 4D ultrasound, 4D sonography or 3D baby scan, is an advanced prenatal ultrasound that goes beyond standard black and white 2D images to create three-dimensional surface images and live moving video of your baby inside the womb. While a standard 2D ultrasound produces flat cross-sectional images used for medical measurements, the 3D 4D scan produces realistic surface rendered images that let you clearly see your baby’s face, features, hands, feet and real time movements before birth.
The difference between 3D and 4D is simple. A 3D scan produces a single three-dimensional still image of the baby’s surface, showing the face, nose, lips and body in detail. A 4D scan adds the dimension of time, producing a live moving video of the baby, so you can watch your baby yawn, smile, blink, suck their thumb and kick in real time. Most modern 3D 4D obstetric scans combine both in the same session, giving you still photos and a live video together.
At ASHA Sonography, Dr. Devashree Salunkhe combines the 3D 4D obstetric scan with a full medical assessment of the baby’s growth, position, amniotic fluid and well-being. You receive both a cherished visual experience and a clinically accurate report from the same single session.
When Should You Get the 3D 4D Scan?
The ideal time for a 3D 4D obstetric scan in Pune is between 26 and 32 weeks of pregnancy. During this window the baby has developed enough fat under the skin to show clear, rounded facial features, and there is still sufficient amniotic fluid around the baby to allow unobstructed surface imaging. After 32 weeks the baby’s head often descends into the pelvis and the amniotic fluid reduces, making 3D 4D images harder to obtain clearly.

Preparation and What to Expect
Before your visit
- Drink 2 to 3 glasses of water 30 to 60 minutes before the scan to ensure good amniotic fluid levels for clear 3D imaging

Is the 3D 4D Scan Safe?
Yes. The 3D 4D obstetric scan uses the same high frequency sound waves as a standard 2D ultrasound and no radiation whatsoever. It is completely safe for both mother and baby. The 3D 4D technology simply processes the ultrasound data differently to create surface rendered images and live video rather than flat cross-sectional images. At ASHA Sonography, the best radiology clinic in Pune, India, we follow the ALARA principle and limit scan time to what is medically appropriate to obtain clear images. The 3D 4D scan has been performed safely in millions of pregnancies worldwide.

Frequently asked questions
What is a 3D 4D obstetric scan?
A 3D 4D obstetric scan is an advanced prenatal ultrasound that produces three-dimensional surface images and live moving video of your baby inside the womb. The 3D part creates a still surface rendered image of the baby’s face and body. The 4D part adds live video so you can watch your baby’s movements, expressions, yawning and smiling in real time. At ASHA Sonography, a medical growth assessment is combined with the 3D 4D experience in a single session.
What is the best time for a 3D 4D scan in Pune?

chnology. The Doppler part checks whether the placenta is delivering adequate blood, oxygen and nutrition to the baby, which the standard growth scan cannot assess. Growth scan with Doppler is recommended for all high risk pregnancies.
What is the difference between 3D and 4D scan?
A 3D scan produces a single three-dimensional still image of the baby’s surface, showing the face, features and body clearly. A 4D scan adds the dimension of movement, producing a live real time video of the baby. You can watch your baby yawn, smile, suck their thumb or kick. Most 3D 4D scans are done together in a single session, giving you both still photos and live video.
What is umbilical aIs the 3D 4D scan medically necessary?rtery Doppler?
The 3D 4D obstetric scan is not mandatory for every pregnancy but it does have medical benefits in addition to the emotional experience. 3D surface imaging provides better evaluation of the lip and palate for cleft detection, clearer assessment of limbs and digits, and fetal behaviour assessment through 4D movements. At ASHA Sonography, Dr. Devashree Salunkhe always combines a complete growth assessment with the 3D 4D imaging.
Will I definitely get clear images of my baby's face?
Clear 3D 4D images depend on the baby’s position, how much amniotic fluid surrounds the baby, and whether the baby’s face is turned towards the probe. If the baby’s face is pressed against the placenta or the uterine wall, the image quality will be limited. Dr. Devashree Salunkhe will make every effort to get the best possible images. Drinking water before the scan and eating a light snack to encourage fetal activity can help improve the chances of clear images.
Do I need a full bladder for the 3D 4D scan?
A completely full bladder is not needed but drinking 2 to 3 glasses of water 30 to 60 minutes before the scan helps maintain amniotic fluid levels for clearer 3D imaging. Eating a light snack before the scan can encourage fetal activity which improves the quality of 4D video.
Can family members come inside during the 3D 4D scan?
Yes. The 3D 4D obstetric scan at ASHA Sonography is a family experience. Your partner, parents or other family members are welcome to be present to share the moment of seeing your baby’s face and movements in real time.
