I've added a {{fact}} tag to the statement of the inventors of 4D because the noted inventors appear to be one of several possible candidates according to [1].--Gareth811807:25, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I really know nothing about the field, but it came up in a recent conversation I had... how useful is 3d ultrasound for clinical purposes? It looks to me as if it reveals little or no internal structure of the fetus - you can get the shape, but not see inside. I ask because during the discussion someone observed that there is a political factor. Real medical applications and sites seem to use almost only 2d ultrasound, while 3d is much favored by non-medical uses, in particular media organisations and pro-life/anti-abortion campanigners (Looking for photogenic pics and good emotional impact, respectively) - both of which seem concerned less with actually working out the condition of the fetus than with getting a clear picture of the face that people are more likely to react to emotionally. 82.34.90.218 (talk) 20:17, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
