Can you see hair in a 3D ultrasound?

There are a variety of factors that ultimately determine if we are able to see hair in a 3D ultrasound. Many expecting parents are curious if they will be able to see the baby’s hair during their 3D ultrasound session.

While HDLive 3D ultrasound and 4D ultrasound technology do not display “stands” of hair, the rendering may display contours on the baby’s head which is a sign that they baby has hair. Ultimately, the best method to “see” if the baby has hair is to use the standard, more traditional 2D ultrasound (black and white) which displays “fuzz”, a key indication that hair is present.
