Objective:
The aim of this work was to review the technical aspects and clinical applications of three-dimensional ultrasonography in gynecologic imaging.
Methods:
With the use of a computerized database (MEDLINE), articles on three-dimensional ultrasonography were reviewed. Other pertinent references were obtained from the references cited in these articles. In addition, we reviewed our own clinical experience over the past 7 years.
Results:
Numerous applications of three-dimensional ultrasonography have been reported, including imaging of the uterus, the endometrial cavity, adnexa, and the pelvic floor and color and power Doppler applications. The accuracy of volume calculations and the networking opportunities with three-dimensional ultrasonography have also been reported. Technical problems and limitations of this technique are summarized.
Conclusions:
Three-dimensional ultrasonography has proved to be a useful imaging tool for clinical problem solving in gynecology, especially in imaging the uterus and uterine cavity.

Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
