The objective of the present study was to evaluate fetal cerebral circulation by using three-dimensional (3D) power Doppler ultrasound in normal and growth-restricted fetuses. A total of 100 normal grown fetuses were compared with other 25 with growth restriction (FGR). Three-dimensional power Doppler ultrasound was used to assess fetal cerebral 3D vascular indices: vascularization index, flow index (FI), and vascularization flow index (VFI). Both FI and VFI correlated positively with gestational age. On average, all the 3D vascular indices were increased in fetuses with FGR. The proportion of fetuses detected as having hemodynamic redistribution was higher when using 3D power Doppler indices than by means of the middle cerebral artery pulsatility index (52% versus 20%, P = 0.002). In conclusion, two of the three indices increased during gestation. All the fetal cerebral 3D vascular indices are increased in fetuses with FGR. In these fetuses, there were more cases suggesting hemodynamic redistribution than expected by conventional Doppler studies.

Object. Three-dimensional (3D) power Doppler ultrasonography imaging provides a rapid, noninvasive visualization of ruptured intracranial aneurysms, including their relationship to other vascular structures. Methods. The authors used transcranial 3D power Doppler imaging in the emergency room to examine patients with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage. In all patients, the ruptured aneurysm was rapidly located with 3D power Doppler imaging. Conventional x-ray angiography confirmed both the ultrasonography-based diagnosis and the location of aneurysmal bleeding. Conclusions. These preliminary results indicate that 3D power Doppler imaging is a rapid, noninvasive screening method for the visualization of ruptured aneurysms.

ABSTRACT Gynecological tumors are a frequent clinical problem. Accurate diagnosis is essential for an adequate clinical management. Currently, 2D ultrasound is considered as a first line imaging technique for diagnosis and for discriminating benign from malignant lesions. However, some limitations of this technique exist. Three-dimensional is a relatively new technique that allows some unique ways for assessing gynecological tumors by ultrasound. In this article, I shall review current evidence about the use of three-dimensional ultrasound for assessing gynecological tumors. How to cite this article Alcázar JL.

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) and real-time three-dimensional (4D) technology, 3D power Doppler and high frequency transducers are being increasingly used in gynecological ultrasound. This treatise discusses practical aspects of these techniques and audits the utility and advantages of these indications in guiding and improving patient outcomes. Current literature places these techniques as a method of choice to image morbid pelvic anatomy and pathophysiology.
