AI Article Synopsis
- - 3D ultrasound technology has become a valuable complement to traditional 2D imaging for examining the female pelvis, particularly in gynecology.
- - This technology allows for better visualization of the uterus in the coronal plane, aiding in the diagnosis of congenital uterine anomalies and the placement of intrauterine devices.
- - Additionally, 3D imaging is useful for diagnosing conditions like adenomyosis and providing detailed information on other issues such as fibroids and endometrial polyps.
Article Abstract
Advent in three-dimensional (3D) imaging technology has seen 3D ultrasound establish itself as a useful adjunct complementary to traditional two-dimensional imaging of the female pelvis. This advantage largely arises from its ability to reconstruct the coronal plane of the uterus, which allows further delineation of many gynecological disorders. 3D imaging of the uterus is now the preferred imaging modality for assessing congenital uterine anomalies and intrauterine device localization. Newer indications include the diagnosis of adenomyosis. It can also add invaluable information to delineate other endometrial and myometrial pathology such as fibroids and endometrial polyps.
