Three-dimensional ultrasound radiance mode imaging of a uterine lipoleiomyoma.

2016

In this case report the diagnosis of a uterine lipoleiomyoma is depicted by means of a three-dimensional radiance mode. The advent of radiance or silhouette mode as a new tool in ultrasound diagnosis is intended to assist by generating additional realistic image visualization and a better distinction among different tissues.

Three-dimensional ultrasound evaluation of ovarian masses.

1995

Seventy-six women with ovarian masses first detected with two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound were then evaluated with three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound. Two-dimensional ultrasound detected four of five ovarian malignancies. One additional ovarian carcinoma was diagnosed by 3D scanning. Observation of papillary projections, characteristics of cystic walls, and the extent of capsular infiltration of tumors was superior with 3D ultrasound as was the calculation of ovarian volume. Fifty-seven of the women studied underwent surgery within 7 days of 3D ultrasound evaluation. Histologic examination of surgical specimens confirmed the 3D sonographic diagnoses. There was one false positive and one fals…

Control of intrauterine device insertion with three-dimensional ultrasound: is it the future?

1996

A comparative study was designed to determine whether three-dimensional transvaginal sonography (3D-TVS) offered advantages over two-dimensional transvaginal sonography (2D-TVS) for the identification and location of IUDs in 66 asymptomatic women. Hysteroscopy was performed in cases in which there was a discrepancy between the information obtained by both methods (n = 14). In eight cases (12.2%) the IUD was misidentified with 2D-TVS. In six cases (9.1%) it was not possible to identify the device model with 2D-TVS. In two cases (3.0%) 2D-TVS failed to identify the position of the device. In contrast, all IUDs were identified and located accurately with 3D-TVS. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Congenital Müllerian anomalies: a review of currently available imaging modalities

2002

Congenital uterine anomalies are associated with infertility and adverse obstetric outcomes. The sensitivity of transvaginal sonography in diagnosing these anomalies ranges from 42% to 87%. More re...

Prenatal diagnosis of sacrococcygeal teratomas by two- and three-dimensional ultrasound

2002

We suspected two fetuses of having sacrococcygeal teratomas following initial two-dimensional ultrasound scanning at 18 and 22 weeks' gestation. The fetuses were then scanned with three-dimensional multiplanar surface and three-dimensional orthogonal planar ultrasound to establish a definitive diagnosis. Although we made a presumptive diagnosis in both cases after initial two-dimensional scanning, with three-dimensional ultrasound we were better able to define the degree of involvement of the sacrum and other pelvic structures of prognostic importance.

Volume scanning in the evaluation of fetal malformations: a new dimension in prenatal diagnosis

1995

Three-dimensional ultrasound examination was performed in 204 patients with a fetal malformation detected by conventional ultrasound. The patients were examined between 13 and 40 weeks of gestation. The ultrasound equipment used was a Combison 330 and a Combison 530 (Kretztechnik, Austria) with an abdominal Voluson sector transducer (3.5/5 MHz) (Kretztechnik, Austria). This ultrasound system can provide a high-quality three-dimensional surface or translucency image of fetal structures similar to that of a photograph or an X-ray image within seconds without an additional expensive work-station. Of the 204 patients examined with three-dimensional ultrasound, this technique proved advantageous…

Three Dimensional ultrasound - a requirement for prenatal diagnosis?

Three-dimensional ultrasound evaluation in the head and neck.

1998

We evaluated the use of a novel three-dimensional ultrasound imaging device in patients with various head and neck lesions. The investigated system was found to be a valuable adjunct to conventional ultrasound in head and neck evaluations. A disadvantage of the three-dimensional system was the need for expensive technical equipment.
