​
Q19. Why are you so confident to find out gender this early whereas we heard at many occasion it is not accurate?
​
A19. It is because we have extensive gender scanning experiences. For example, protruding part does not always mean a boy, it can be a swollen clitoris. And​ three bright lines does not always mean it is a girl as it can be seen at boy at times at early genitalia development. Only through the vast experience, the sonographer can determine accurately which one is which, same to nub theory. A flat line can be seen on boy and sticking out can be a girl with swollen clitoris.
​
Q20. I have never heard of 5D scan in my life. What is that?
​
A20. This is patented technology used by Samsung Ultrasound which is equivalent to HD live by GE. But we would claim 5D has better technology compared to HD live. 5D ultrasound has been very popular in women ultrasound in many countries lately.
​
Q21. Do you have female sonographer?
​
A21. No, we have only male sonographer. If due to religious reason, we are happy to have full cover on the tummy with towel with least exposure as possible and no internal scan will be performed.
