The objective of this prospective follow-up study was to evaluate the potential utility of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound to differentiate intrauterine from extrauterine gestations. Fifty-four pregnancies with a gestational age <10 weeks and with an intrauterine gestational sac <5 mm in diameter formed the study group. The configuration of the endometrium in the frontal plane of the uterus w...
