What is elective ultrasound?
Elective ultrasound refers to a 2D, 3D, 4D, and 5D ultrasound exam performed for non-medical reasons, often to obtain images or videos of the developing fetus for sentimental reasons or gender determination. These exams are not typically covered by insurance and are paid for out of pocket.
Elective ultrasounds are done during pregnancy's first, second, or third trimester. They may include 3D, 4D, or 5D imaging, providing more detailed and realistic fetus images than traditional 2D ultrasound. While these exams are generally considered safe, it's important to note that they are not a substitute for medical ultrasounds performed by a licensed healthcare provider.
