“…In literature we have found papers on fetal, placental and umbilical cord ultrasound using the HDlive rendering mode [3,12,13], but none of these reported the imaging of the GE within the embryonic and early fetal brains.…”

Aim: Early diagnosis of cerebral congenital anomalies requires a profound knowledge of the anatomy of the developing human brain. The ganglionic eminences (GE) are crucial structures of the brain, giving rise mostly to the basal nuclei. The aim of this explorative study is to assess the GE within the embryonic and early fetal brain by using 3D transvaginal US. Material and methods: From March 2015 to May 2015, a total of 18 singleton non-malformed embryos and fetuses at 9-13 weeks of gestation were assesed in vivo by transvaginal ultrasound using a Voluson E10, BT 15 scanner (GE Healthcare, Zipf, Austria). The 3D sonography was performed routinely as the subjects were scanned. Inter-observer agreement (concordance) was calculated using the Cohen's kappa statistics. Results: At 9 gestational weeks, no GE was identified. At 10 gestational weeks the GE were identified as mere thickenings in the lateral wall of the cerebral hemispheres, well depicted by 3D transvaginal ultrasound using the HDlive rendering mode and the OmniView® software. Starting with 11 gestational weeks the GE are evident. The results of inter-observer agreement for GE identification were as follows: observed agreement Po=0.94, expected agreement Pe=0.76, kappa coefficient=0.83, which means a very good agreement between the observers. Conclusions: The GE can be clearly visualized by 3D transvaginal sonography, and especially by HDlive rendering mode. This method has become the "golden standard" for in vivo morphological studies of the embryonic and early fetal brain.

“…There have been four reports on sonographic imaging of a normal embryo and fetus, abnormal fetus, placenta, and umbilical cord using the 3D HDlive rendering mode [6][7][8][9]. In the present case, the 3D HDlive rendering mode provided a natural and anatomically realistic appearance of cut-views of MCDK.…”

Abdominal and/or vaginal two-dimensional (2D) and threedimensional (3D) ultra sound (US) are the 'gold standard' technology on which diagnosis and control of gynecological tumors depend.In recent years a series of software that initially generated enormous interest, have been introduced to improve 2D/3D US image quality and diagnostic accuracy. Many of them have shown limited interests.The last one and the most interesting is HDlive which incorporates a movable virtual adjustable light that, as it penetrates, produces selective illumination with respective shadows that result from the structures where light is reflected. This combination of lights and shadows results in spectacular images which are much more real than those obtained with conventional 3D US.This note simply pretends to show the quality of images obtained in cases of gynecological tumors using this easy-tohandle high definition ultrasound technology.
