“…They found blood flow in 85 % of the tumors and tumor vascularization was correlated with tumor volume [32]. On the other hand, Alcazar et al [33], Tanaka and Umesaki [34], and Belitsos et al [35] did find that tumor vascularization as assessed by 3D power ultrasound correlated with some tumor characteristics such as tumor stage and histologic grade.…”

Uterine cervical cancer is the second most frequent gynecological malignancy worldwide. The assessment of the extent of disease is essential for planning optimal treatment. Imaging techniques are increasingly used in the pre-treatment work-up of cervical cancer. Currently, MRI for local extent of disease evaluation and PET-scan for distant disease assessment are considered as first-line techniques. Notwithstanding, in the last few years, ultrasound has gained attention as an imaging technique for evaluating women with cervical cancer. In this paper, current knowledge about the use of ultrasound for assessing uterine cervical cancer will be reviewed and discussed.

“…This method has been validated in studies of the endometrium [21,22,23,24], ovaries [25,26] and cervix [27]. In our case, we found that the scarred areas of the endometrium and 1-mm subendometrium and the healed areas of the outer third of the uterus had lower vascularisation-blood flow indices, in comparison to the subendometrium area lying at a depth of 2-4 mm.…”

Aims: To present a study on severe Asherman's syndrome after open myomectomy and investigate the possible reasons for this outcome. Methods: This study involves a rare case of a 38-year-old nulliparous woman who underwent a relatively minor and straightforward open myomectomy in a university hospital setting, during which the uterine cavity was not entered and there were no post-operative complications. Post-operatively the patient had oligomenorrhoea for over a year. The patient was investigated with three-dimensional power Doppler angiography of the uterus and underwent diagnostic/operative hysteroscopy. Main outcome measures were to sonographically assess the blood flow and vascularisation throughout the uterus and to hysteroscopically confirm diagnosis of Asherman's syndrome and treat the patient at the same time. Results: Sonographically there was reduced perfusion in the outer part of the uterus and the scarred areas of the endometrium. Upon hysteroscopic confirmation of diagnosis, the division of adhesions led to a normal sized uterine cavity. Conclusions: Among the predisposing and causal factors that have been implicated in post-operative adhesion formation, endometrial trauma, infection and tissue hypoxia are considered the most important. This case supports a role for tissue hypoxia in the development of Asherman's syndrome after open myomectomy.

“…The most recent 3D/4D ultrasound technology facilitates 3D/4D ultrasound examinations even for the less experienced sonographer, while giving the examiner the opportunity to identify normal and abnormal fetal structures in the most appropriate imaging mode. 1 However, 3D/4D technology is not only useful for prenatal diagnosis [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] but also for gynecological ultrasound [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] and breast ultrasound [33][34][35][36][37][38] as well.…”

Modern 3D/4D sonography provides a routine method not only for storing single image planes as in 2D ultrasound but also for storing complete sets of volume data in the computer memory. Once acquisition is completed, all volumes can be accessed from the memory and normal and abnormal findings in both obstetrics and gynecology can be demonstrated in different display modes. Furthermore digital storage of volumes permits virtual examinations by reloading of volumes and navigating through them in the absence of the patient.This review article would like to give an illustration of the latest technologies in 3D/4D ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology.
