3D/4D Ultrasound

3D/4D ultrasound provides beautiful images for you and your family. It allows you to view and keep images of your baby before he or she is born! With the help of an advanced technology, we are able to produce 3D ultrasound images, which allow you to look at your baby’s features in real-time. The 4D ultrasound is the 3D ultrasound in movement.

It is done during the third trimester, between weeks 28 and 32, and includes the following:

- 3D/4D ultrasound session;
- Complete third trimester ultrasound;
- Ultrasound session recorded on DVD;
- Several pictures of your baby.
- Option : Your baby’s heartbeat in a teddy bear

No preparation is required.

Please note that a completed requisition form from your doctor or midwife is required at the time of your appointment.
The requisition must specifically mention the 3D/4D ultrasound. Without a requisition we cannot proceed.

Duration: 40 minutes

FAQ

Q: Do I absolutely need a doctor’s requisition to get an ultrasound done?

A: Yes. You need to provide us with a requisition that documents the requested examination(s) before we can begin the ultrasound. This form has to be completed and signed by a doctor. You can bring it with you or your doctor can send it to us in advance. No ultrasound can be performed without this completed requisition

Q: How long will it take for my doctor to receive the results?

A: Ultrasound results are sent to the doctor who completed the request in as little as 48 business hours after the ultrasound.

Q: Are ultrasounds dangerous?

No. There are no risks associated with ultrasound examinations. Machines are calibrated and inspected to ensure ultrasound waves are used at the security levels approved by Health Canada. This medical imaging technique is so safe that it is used in infertility programs and for tracking the baby’s developing during pregnancy.

Q: Can someone accompany me to my ultrasound?

 A: Of course! You can be accompanied during your ultrasound if you wish, but a maximum of four people can enter the examination room (including children).

Q: Do appointments start on time?

A: We work hard to honour appointment times and respect patients’ schedules. The duration of an ultrasound can however vary from one person to another. We believe that each case, including yours, deserves special attention. This is why the sonographer will take whatever time necessary to perform your examination. If the time needed is longer than usual, there could be delays. Unfortunately, we cannot predict if these delays will happen on the day of your appointment.

Q: How long does it take to get an appointment?

A: The time it takes to get an appointment varies but, usually, it is possible to get an appointment in less than 7 business days.

Q: Can a copy of the results be sent directly to me?

A: Yes, of course. We can provide a copy of the report written by our radiologist as soon as it’s ready, alothough we are not able to discuss or offer any advice regardinng diagnosis. You may address your concerns to your physician.

Q: Are there fees associated with the ultrasounds performed at the Clinique d’échographie de l’Outaouais?

A: Yes we are a private clinic , ultrasound examinations which are performed in a private clinic are at times covered by your private insurance plans.
