Advanced Obstetrical and Gynecological Ultrasound: Imaging with New Technologies

Abstract

ABSTRACT Since, ultrasound was introduced as diagnostic tool in obstetrics and gynecology by Professor Ian Donald 6 decades ago, realtime imaging has become the most common sonographic technique used in obstetrics and gynecology. When uncertain findings on real-time gray scale during two-dimensional sonography require further evaluation, advanced techniques are often necessary. Such advanced techniques include color and power Doppler, three- and four-dimensional ultrasound and techniques of volume manipulation (rendering), such as surface and maximum mode, magic cut, volume calculation (VOCAL), NICHE mode, and -as latest innovation, HD flow (Doppler) and HD life surface rendering. The authors would like to illustrate by means of a series of images and case presentations, how these new diagnostic tools find their clinical application in the daily routine of care in obstetrics and gynecology.
