Sonographer Tiffany Thurmond shows prints of the 3-D images she obtained from an ultrasound scan she performed on an expecting mother at the Prenatal Peek studio in Novato,CA.
Expecting mothers can now have a glimpse of what their developing child might look like by going to private studios that offer 3D ultrasound imagery. Relaxing in recliners, with soft music playing in the background, mothers and their families have a chance to meet their babies and walk out with a video or DVD of their experience as well as color photographs. Unlike the classic 2D ultrasound performed by obstetricians to verify the absence of abnormalities, the 3D ultrasounds have no medical value.
