Three-dimensional imaging with the capacity for automatic data acquisition
and volume storage provides the possibility of analyzing structures tomogra
phically in certain steps. Sectional planes that cannot be demonstrated by
conventional ultrasound can be calculated and displayed from the volume mem
ory. In addition, three-dimensional images may be calculated using the surf
ace and transparent made. With those different viewing modes and permanent
storage of the acquired volumes, the transvaginal 3-D technique offers a pr
ecise diagnosis in early pregnancy.
