Three-dimensional/four-dimensional transperineal ultrasound: clinical utility and future prospects

During the last decade, there has been a huge advancement in the use of transperineal ultrasound (TPU) in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. Its main applications in obstetrics include the monitoring of fetal progression in labor and recently the assessment of maternal pelvic dimensions, whereas in gynecology, TPU is at present widely used for the evaluation of the female pelvic floor, ope...

Levator ani muscle during pregnancy and delivery outcome: A three- and four-dimensional transperineal ultrasound study

Clinical utility of three-dimensional US.

Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography (US) is rapidly gaining popularity as it moves out of the research environment and into the clinical setting. This modality offers several distinct advantages over conventional US, including 3D image reconstruction with a single pass of the US beam, virtually unlimited viewing perspectives; accurate assessment of long-term effects of treatment; and more ac...

Three-Dimensional Ultrasound Mosaicing

The creation of 2D ultrasound mosaics is becoming a common clinical practice with a high clinical value. The next step coming along with the increasing availability of 2D array transducers is the creation of 3D mosaics. In the literature of ultrasound registration, the alignment of multiple images has not yet been addressed. Therefore, we propose registration strategies, which are able to cope ...
