How to determine the gender of the fetus through observation of four-dimensional color ultrasound pictures?
Four-dimensional color ultrasound is a high-level ultrasound technology that obtains high-quality dynamic color images through multiple scans. Professionals can determine the gender of the fetus by observing these images. So, what is the specific method for determining the gender of the fetus from four-dimensional color ultrasound pictures?
1. Observe the fetal urogenital system
In a four-dimensional color ultrasound examination, doctors usually first observe the fetus\’s urogenital system, including the urinary system and reproductive system. Male and female fetuses differ greatly in this regard. If it is a male fetus, the doctor can usually clearly see its reproductive organs, which appear obvious due to the preparation of urine. In female fetuses, the reproductive organs often appear smaller and deeper and difficult to distinguish.
From another perspective, if the fetus does not produce much urine, or the internal fluid cannot be discharged normally, it may affect the gender judgment. In this case, the doctor may need to reconfirm during a later exam.
2. Observe the fetal trunk and limbs
The limbs and trunk are also important basis for determining the gender of the fetus. Typically, male fetuses have longer limbs and torsos than female fetuses. In addition, in four-dimensional imaging, the fetal skeleton and muscles can also be observed. Male fetuses usually have stronger skeletons and more obvious muscles, while female fetuses are relatively weaker. These factors can help doctors determine the gender of the fetus.
3. Observe fetal facial features
The facial features of the fetus are also an important aspect in determining gender. Generally speaking, the face of a male fetus appears larger, with a wider nose bridge and more protruding cheekbones, while a female fetus has a relatively softer face. Observing the facial features of the fetus can rely on four-dimensional imaging technology to obtain a clearer image, which is also an important reference for determining gender.
4. Make judgments based on experience
In addition to the above observation methods, doctors can also make judgments on four-dimensional color ultrasound images based on their own experience. Because doctors have extensive experience and knowledge in this field, they are usually able to accurately determine the gender of the fetus. However, it is worth noting that four-dimensional ultrasound examination is not 100% reliable, but what some companies call \”predictive gender, non-guaranteed gender\”. Most doctors will give a probability range when judging the gender of the fetus. This range is accurate. Sex is relatively high.
Summary
As a high-quality ultrasonic examination technology, four-dimensional color ultrasound can obtain high-quality dynamic color images through multiple scans and help doctors determine the gender of the fetus. Doctors can make judgments by observing the fetal urogenital system, trunk and limbs, facial features, and their own experience. But what needs to be remembered is that four-dimensional color ultrasound is not always 100% accurate in determining the gender of the fetus.
