Objective: Sonography-based Automated Volume Count (SonoAVC) is an automated, operator-independent, 3-dimensional ultrasound technique. The study goal was to assess agreement between SonoAVC and Virtual Organ Computer-aided AnaLysis (VOCAL) for bladder volume measurements and fetal urine production (FUP).
Study Design: This was a prospective study of recipient bladder volumes in twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome acquired with SonoAVC and VOCAL every 2 minutes during 30 minutes before and 24 hours after laser coagulation. FUP formulas: (V(2) - V(1)) × 60/time interval in minutes; and slope of linear regression of ≥ 3 consecutively increasing bladder volumes × 60 minutes. Bland-Altman plots were used to compare techniques.
Results: In 38 pregnancies, 560 bladder measurements were acquired. Mean FUP was 7.29 mL/h (95% confidence interval, 5.66-8.92) using SonoAVC and 6.79 mL/h (95% confidence interval, 5.16-8.42) using VOCAL (P = .14). Limits of agreement were -0.20 to 0.22 cm(3).
Conclusion: Fetal bladder volume and FUP measurements using SonoAVC were comparable to VOCAL. SonoAVC is operator independent, easy, and fast.

Background And Objective: Transcranial sonography-based grading of Parkinson's Disease has gained increasing attention in recent years, and it is currently used for assistive differential diagnosis in some specialized centers. To this end, accurate midbrain segmentation is considered an important initial step. However, current practice is manual, time-consuming, and bias-prone due to the subjective nature.

Background: The purpose of the study was to compare three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound semiautomatic antral follicle count (AFC) with two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound real-time AFC to evaluate patients with deep endometriosis and/or endometrioma submitted to ovarian stimulation (OS).
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study assessing all women with documented diagnosis of deep endometriosis who underwent OS for assisted reproduction treatment. The primary outcome was the difference between AFC by semiautomatic 3D follicle count using 3D volume datasets and 2D ultrasound count with the number of oocytes retrieved at the end of the cycle.

Aim: To compare the oocyte yield using three-dimensional (3D) automated and two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound-based follicle tracking in women undergoing fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET).
Settings And Design: A randomized controlled trial was conducted in the Reproductive Medicine Unit of a teaching medical institute from January 2017 to December 2018.
Materials And Methods: A total of 130 patients undergoing IVF-ET were enrolled and randomized into two groups (65 patients in each group).

Objective: To determine whether complex gastroschisis (ie, intestinal atresia, perforation, necrosis, or volvulus) can prenatally be distinguished from simple gastroschisis by fetal stomach volume and stomach-bladder distance, using three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound.
Methods: This multicenter prospective cohort study was conducted in the Netherlands between 2010 and 2015. Of seven university medical centers, we included the four centers that performed longitudinal 3D ultrasound measurements at a regular basis.

This Consensus Opinion summarizes the main aspects of several techniques for performing ovarian antral follicle count (AFC), proposes a standardized report and provides recommendations for future research. AFC should be performed using a transvaginal ultrasound (US) probe with frequency ≥ 7 MHz. For training, we suggest a minimum of 20-40 supervised examinations.
