Abstract
Diagnostic ultrasound in obstetrics and gynaecology has experienced a fantastic evolution during the past seven decades. Initial steps with A-mode technology were followed by B-mode and B-mode real-time imaging, then by Doppler and colour Doppler ultrasound, and finally by 3D/4D ultrasound. Other evolutionary steps were the development of high-resolution transabdominal and transvaginal transducers providing high quality images in the first, second and third trimesters of pregancy, as well as in gynaecology and breast imaging.The progression from two-dimensional (2D) to three-dimensional ultrasound (3D) and 3D real-time imaging (4D) has brought new options in displaying anatomical structures. In comparison with CT or MRI, it is not a static but functional technique, cheap and safe, and applicable at any time.
期刊介绍：
The journal aims to promote ultrasound diagnosis by publishing papers in a variety of categories, including editorial letters, original papers, review articles, pictorial essays, technical developments, case reports, letters to the editor or occasional special reports (fundamental, clinical as well as methodological and educational papers).
The papers published cover the whole spectrum of the applications of diagnostic medical ultrasonography, including basic science and therapeutic applications.
The journal hosts information regarding the society''s activities, scheduling of accredited training courses in ultrasound diagnosis, as well as the agenda of national and international scientific events.
