“…They reported a sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of 93.5, 92.9, 84.5, and 97.2 %, respectively [34]. Several other studies provided similar results and concluded that 3D PD is a highly sensitive and specific tool for diagnosing ovarian malignancies [33,[35][36][37]. 3D USG and 3D PD technique were found to be highly reproducible [28,38].…”

Three-dimensional ultrasound (3D USG) is a fast-evolving imaging technique that holds a great potential for use in gynecology. Its sensitivity and specificity is reported to be close to 100 % for diagnosing congenital uterine anomalies, comparable with those of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and laparoscopy. With 3D USG, a coronal view of the uterus can be obtained, clearly outlining the external contour of the uterus and providing accurate information about the shape of the cavity. Although 3D USG may not perform well in thin endometria, combining it with saline infusion sonography (SIS) overcomes this problem. Research shows that 3D USG is more sensitive and specific than two-dimensional ultrasound (2D USG) in defining and mapping uterine lesions, such as fibroids, adenomyosis, and intrauterine synechia. In cases of suspected malignancy, 3D USG is mainly used in the initial evaluation of patients. Measuring various indices and mapping vascular architecture with 3D power Doppler have been proposed for evaluating adnexal masses. Although some studies raised hope, no consensus is reached about its use, success, and limitations. In urogynecology, translabial 3D USG is proved to be a valuable tool, as it provides instant access to the axial plane, which clearly depicts the relationship of the vagina, urethra, rectum, and the muscular pelvic floor. Studies report no significant differences between translabial 3D USG and MRI measurements for evaluation of the pelvic floor. In conclusion, adding 3D USG to routine gynecological workup can be beneficial for clinicians, as it provides fast and accurate results in a relatively cost-effective setting.

“…3D PD can produce a precise model of the vascular architecture and detect these signs. Central vascular flow, septal flow, irregular, and chaotic vascular architecture are associated with malignancy [33]. Kalamantis et al evaluated 318 women with unilateral adnexal mass using 3D PD.…”

Malignancy has classically been described, as having vessels "seemingly deployed without purpose.'' In other words, vascularity that does not have tree like in branching with orderly distal tapering is abnormal. 3D imaging can create a virtual cast of vessels, to be "cut into" and "manipulated" on a computer monitor. This can be thought of as a most valuable "Tissue Block" of data, unlike any other imaging test, and I believe, holds the key to a more accurate diagnosis of ovarian cancer.

“…Одним из преимуществ 3D-реконструкции является трехмерная ангиография, позволяющая детально оценивать сосудистое русло и вы-являть признаки неоангиогенеза [65][66][67]. Кроме того, используемая качественная оценка (по сравнению с двух-мерными индексами) позволяет в целом оценить характер кровотока в опухоли [68].…”

“…D. Chase и соавт. [67] продемонстрировали высокую информативность трехмерной ангиографии в дифференциальной диагностике злокачественных и до-брокачественных опухолей яичника. Прогностическая ценность положительного и отрицательного результата 3D-ангиографии составила 100 и 95% соответственно, что значительно превышало данные значения при использо-вании 2D-сканирования (57 и 100% соответственно).…”

Освещены вопросы диагностики онкологических заболеваний яичников с использованием ультразвукового исследования. Рассмотрены этапы становления ультразвукового метода в онкогинекологии, его возможности метода в диагностике рака яичников. Оценены роль и место ультразвукового исследования среди методов лучевой диагностики, применяемых в онкогинекологии. Ключевые слова: рак яичника, ультразвуковое исследование.Problems in the ultrasound diagnosis of ovarian cancers are covered. The developmental stages of a gynecological oncological ultrasound technique and its possibilities to diagnose ovarian cancer are considered. The role and place of ultrasonography are assessed among the radiodiagnostic methods used in gynecological oncology.
