Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Three-dimensional ultrasound can provide detailed images that might allow parents to see facial features and potentially guess who the baby resembles. However, it's important to note that while 3D ultrasounds can offer more detailed images than traditional 2D ultrasounds, they do not guarantee the ability to diagnose all abnormalities, nor do they measure nuchal translucency (which is associated with the risk of Down syndrome and is typically done in the first trimester, not the second) or predict early delivery through cervical length measurement.
