Ultrasound scans use high-frequency sound waves to make images of organs and structures inside the body.
They allow doctors to see more clearly what is happening inside of your body, analyse injuries and diagnose disease in a safe and non-invasive way.
A pregnancy bonding scan is an optional, non-medical scan that provides a maternal bonding experience for parents, family, and friends.
Like regular ultrasounds, 3D/4D ultrasounds use sound waves to create an image of your baby in your womb. 3D ultrasounds create a three-dimensional image of your baby, while 4D ultrasounds create a live video effect, like a movie -- you can watch your baby smile or yawn.
To get the best views of your baby, this scan should be best performed between 28 and 32 weeks.
GIFT CERTIFICATE! This scan can now be purchased as a gift for a special mother-to-be in your life. Click to learn more.
3D/4D ultrasounds display a 3D view of your baby in real-time allowing you to see your baby move. 4D means 3D in motion
This is a non-medical scan that provides a maternal bonding experience for parents, family, and friends. To get the best views of your baby, this scan should be best performed between 28 and 32 weeks.
We offer 2 services for 3D/4D bonding scans.
You can choose to have the scan performed immediately after your 3rd trimester growth scan. The additional cost of this scan is $200 including images to your phone or email. This add on option is only available when you book in for a growth scan in the booking widget. Family members and friends are welcome to join you too.
You can also have a standalone 3D/4D scan which will cost $375 including images to your phone or email. It is a requirement that you must have already had a previous anatomy scan. The scan time will be approximately 20 minutes. Again family members and friends are welcome to join you too.
We have the latest Philips 3D/4D technology for capturing great views of your baby. However, there are times when baby's position, position of the umbilical cord, baby's hands or a lack of fluid around the baby can prevent us from getting good images of baby's face.
We acknowledge the fact that it is not always possible to achieve the right images on the first try therefore we may accommodate a second attempt during your follow on scan with us. We may sometimes ask you to go for a short walk to try and get the baby to move. If that fails we will try to get some images of other parts of baby such as feet and hands.
No. This scan can be performed without a referral as it is a non medical scan and simply a chance for parents, family, and friends to bond with baby. If you are having the 3D/4D scan as part of your 3rd trimester growth scan, you will still need a referral for the growth scan.
Our Cancellation Policy applies to all appointments. You must confirm or cancel your appointment at least 4 business hours prior.
We will endeavour to provide you with a memorable bonding experience with your baby. We also ask that you please agree to the following terms and conditions related to 3D4D ultrasounds scans performed at Lux Radiology before we can perform your scan:
Your preparation is important, and will depend on the part of the body being examined. Upon booking refer to Step 3 for instructions on preparation for your scan.
Please note that all timings are estimates only. Scanning times may vary due to operator and patient factors. We allocate the time indicated however many scans do not require the full time given.
However, some scans can take longer than expected, for example Anatomy scans where the baby's position obstructs some of the views required to complete the scan; or complex pelvic scans. This added scanning work also requires additional time for reporting.
In these situations, we reserve the right to charge an extended scanning fee of $50 if additional time ( up to 10 min ) is required to complete the scan. This can potentially avoid us having to rebook for a follow up scan and therefore save patients additional time and effort to return for another scan. You will be advised at the time of your scan if this charge is necessary.
