What is the difference between the types of scan we offer?
A 2D scan is typically the scan that would be used within a hospital setting.
A 3D scan is an image that is captured from a live image that can be seen on the screen when performing a scan
A 4D scan is the moving 3D live image on the screen.
Your 3D image will be a photo capture of the live 4D image on the screen.
