Comparison Between 360° 3-D Transvaginal Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Assessment of Vaginal Invasion in Cervical Cancer: A Preliminary Report
2021, Ultrasound in Medicine and BiologyCitation Excerpt :The disadvantage of (2-D) ultrasound is that it cannot display structures and suspected lesions three-dimensionally, and the birth of (3-D) ultrasound compensates for this shortcoming. In clinic examinations of the uterus, endometrium, ovaries and rectum) 3-D ultrasound has been widely used (Kurjak et al. 2000; Giovannini et al. 2006; Meizner 2007). The role of ultrasound in the evaluation of vaginal lesions has been minimal.
Three-dimensional ultrasound for assessing women with gynecological cancer: A systematic review
2011, Gynecologic OncologyCitation Excerpt :Three-dimensional power Doppler reconstruction of the tumoral vascular tree allows the assessment of microaneurysms, arteriovenous shunts, abnormal vessels branching, tortuousity and vessel caliber changes, all of them characteristics of malignant tumors [13]. The first group to evaluate the vascular tree assessment for predicting ovarian malignancy in adnexal masses was the group of Kurjak et al. [23,24]. They concluded that 3D-PD was better than 2D-PD.
Endometriosis
2008, Ultrasound ClinicsCitation Excerpt :If papillary structures protruding from the internal cyst wall are visualized, ovarian malignancy, such as endometrioid carcinoma, needs to be excluded (Fig. 15).56 If a large number of irregular vessels with changing calibers, unusual anastomoses, and vascular lakes are seen entering an adnexal structure with centrally located flow within the mass, regardless of the resistive indices, the finding can be considered highly suggestive of malignancy.57 Subserosal leiomyoma also may present as a solid-appearing mass in the adnexa; usually, however, it is possible to demonstrate vascular connectivity with the uterine myometrium.4
