EC GYNAECOLOGY Perspective Virtual Sonographic Embryoscopy: A New Tool for Evaluation of Early Pregnancy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Observation of the gestational sac by vaginal sonography is a key-element of early pregnancy evaluation. Here we present a new imaging technique, enabling 3-dimensional virtual reconstruction of the early embryonic structures within gestational sacs with the use of computerized analysis of 2-dimensional sonographic recordings. This technique, named virtual sonographic embryoscopy, offers a higher precision and spatial resolution as compared to conventional ultrasound and appears to be useful to predict the risk of early pregnancy loss.

The present work was carried out to study the variation in biochemical properties of cervico-vaginal mucus of pregnant and non pregnant animals which could help to design suitable tool in future for early pregnancy diagnosis in buffaloes. Cervico-vaginal mucus samples were obtained from 30 buffaloes (12 pregnant and 18 non pregnant) and some biochemical parameters were compared. Means of pH, so...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to demonstrate that Carnegie Stages could be assigned to embryos visualized with a 3D virtual reality system. METHODS We analysed 48 3D ultrasound scans of 19 IVF/ICSI pregnancies at 7-10 weeks' gestation. These datasets were visualized as 3D 'holograms' in the BARCO I-Space virtual reality system. Embryos were staged according to external morphological fe...

Transvaginal sonography (TVS) is now the imaging modality of choice for the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy with overall reported sensitivities of>90%. Specific sonographic criteria exist for the diagnosis of tubal and non-tubal pregnancies including cervical and caesarean section scar pregnancies. Diagnosis is based on the visualization of an ectopic mass rather than the inability to visualize ...

Improvement in ultrasound technology, including transvaginalsonography and higher frequency probes, has led to a better understanding of early pregnancy development. The first trimester ultrasound have been identified that can be used to reassure women that their pregnancy is progressing normally or abnormal them that their pregnancy will fail. The practicing radiologist and obstetrician must b...
