HD scan / 5D scan
> HD scan will be about the same as 3D4D, it is not 5D scan due to no extra dimension can be found. HD means high definition whereby the texture of the HD scan is more clear and similar to your baby skin. Hence, the images of your baby will look more real. There are so many clinics outside name HD scan as 5D scan, to avoid, HD/5D scan will be categorized as same.
