An unfamiliar image can hold so much
During a pregnancy ultrasound appointment, the screen can be full of shapes that are difficult to recognise. Your clinician is trained to interpret those images. As a parent, you may simply want to feel more familiar with what you see.
ScanBaby is designed around that curiosity. It offers a collection of visual and ultrasound experiences that you can explore at your own pace, with no need to turn an appointment into a lesson.
What ultrasound labels do
In ScanBaby, labels highlight and name selected structures. Switching them on creates a connection between a name and a place in the image. In the preview on this website, the app identifies the heart and nasal bone in a virtual ultrasound view.
The original app imagery connects visual details with clear labels. You can discover the heart, explore the baby’s profile and return to the details that interest you. It is a visual way to become more familiar with sonography in pregnancy.
A different view can change the picture
A single image is only one perspective. ScanBaby’s virtual ultrasound experience lets you explore how the view changes as you move the virtual probe. You can return to an image, try a different angle and switch labels on again.
The Learn experience adds three-dimensional views of babies at different developmental stages. The Watch collection offers real ultrasound moments with short explanations. Together, these features give you several ways to approach unfamiliar imagery.
Explore the examples, ask about your own scan
Feeling more familiar with baby ultrasound can help you put your curiosity into words. Explore a virtual exam, revisit labelled views and bring the questions that interest you to your next appointment.
For explanations of your own ultrasound images or questions about your baby, ask the healthcare professional who knows your pregnancy. ScanBaby complements your curiosity; prenatal care remains with your care team.
