✨ Transform Your 3D Ultrasound into 8K Portraits

8K ultrasound takes your 3D scan and transforms it into a photorealistic portrait with lifelike skin tones, textures, and lighting—like a professional newborn photo, but before birth.

What is 3D Ultrasound?

3D ultrasound takes multiple 2D images from different angles and combines them using specialized computer software to create a three-dimensional still image of your baby. This technology allows parents to see their baby's facial features, including the nose, lips, and cheeks, in much greater detail than traditional 2D imaging.

How 3D Ultrasound Works

The 3D transducer captures thousands of 2D slices as it moves across your abdomen. Advanced software then assembles these slices into a three-dimensional rendering. The quality of the image depends on factors like baby's position, amniotic fluid levels, and gestational age.

3D Ultrasound vs 8K Ultrasound

While 3D ultrasound shows your baby's features in three dimensions, 8K technology adds realistic coloring, lighting, and enhancement to create stunning portraits worthy of framing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best week for a 3D ultrasound?

The optimal window for 3D ultrasound is between 26-32 weeks. Before 26 weeks, baby lacks sufficient facial fat, and after 32 weeks, space becomes limited for good imaging.

Can I use my 3D ultrasound for 8K portraits?

Yes! 8kUltrasoundPro specializes in transforming your 3D ultrasound images into stunning 8K photorealistic portraits. Simply upload your 3D scan and our AI creates beautiful, lifelike images.

Is 3D ultrasound safe?

3D ultrasound uses the same sound wave technology as 2D ultrasound and is considered safe when performed by qualified professionals for appropriate durations.
