0929-6441 a 2012, Elsevier Taiwan LL http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jmu.2012 Fetal growth restriction (FGR), previously known as intrauterine growth restriction, remains one of the main challenges in maternity care. Three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS) has the potential to provide improved visualization of the fetal anatomic morphology compared with conventional two-dimensional ultrasound imaging. The present paper reviews 3DUS studies in the diagnosis, evaluation and prediction of FGR, and discusses the possible clinical applications of 3DUS. a 2012, Elsevier Taiwan LLC and the Chinese Taipei Society of Ultrasound in Medicine.

Biological Effect of Modern Fetal Ultrasound Techniques on Human Dermal Fibroblast Cells
Background: Diagnostic ultrasound has been used to detect human disease especially fetus abnormalities in recent decades. Although the harmful effects of diagnostic ultrasound on human have not been established so far, several researchers showed it has had bioeffects in cell lines and in experimental animals. Three-dimensional (3D), four-dimensional (4D), and color Doppler sonography are new te...

متن کاملACR Appropriateness Criteria® growth disturbances - risk of intrauterine growth restriction.
Fetal growth disturbances include fetuses at risk for intrauterine growth restriction. These fetuses may have an estimated fetal weight at less than the 10% or demonstrate a plateau of fetal growth with an estimated fetal growth greater than the 10%. Uteroplacental insufficiency may play a major role in the etiology of intrauterine growth restriction. Fetuses at risk for intrauterine fetal grow...
متن کاملThree-dimensional Ultrasonography in the Evaluation of the Fetal Cerebellum*
For the last years three-dimensional ultrasonography has become an imaging diagnosis method of great importance in obstetrics. One of its advantages would be the higher sensitivity compared with two-dimensional ultrasound in the diagnosis of some fetal malformations. The potential applications of this new method would be an improved accuracy in the measurement of fetal organs, the possibility o...
