Three‐dimensional gynaecological ultrasound part two: A pictorial essay

Abstract

Three‐dimensional ultrasound (3DUS) is becoming a standard part of obstetric and gynaecological ultrasound examinations. With most high‐end ultrasound systems now incorporating three‐dimensional functionality, the technology can be used to enhance and/or confirm a diagnosis in many gynaecological pathologies. Part one of this two‐part series covered the technical aspects of performing three‐dimensional gynaecological ultrasound. This paper, part two, presents a pictorial essay of 3DUS in gynaecological imaging serving to educate sonographers and other ultrasound users on the typical appearance of some common, and not so common ultrasound findings.
