We report the case of a 46-year-old female who presented with a category IV pressure ulcer (PU) in the sacral region. Undermining of the PU was assessed with the aid of two-dimensional and three-dimensional ultrasound (3D-US).3D-US clearly visualized the wound in three directions and allowed determination of its volume. Our results show that volumetric analysis carried out with 3D-US enables the evaluation of wound morphology and thus better treatment of patients with PUs. The technique is simple and can be used routinely in daily wound management to assess the volume of the undermined wound.

Encephaloceles are considered neural tube defects, but their exact cause is unknown. The outcome is dismal, and essential management and counseling are needed for patients. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional sonography can be used to detect encephaloceles as early as 11 weeks, assist in treatment planning, and improve patient care. This case report presents an occipital encephalocele diagnosed by sonography and followed until delivery.

The arguments of Stoffregen & Bardy for studying perception based on the global array are intriguing. This theory can be examined in nonhuman species using nonverbal tasks. We examine how monkeys master a skill that incorporates a two-dimensional/three-dimensional interface. We feel this provides excellent support for Stoffregen & Bardy's theory.

The optical method of caustics constitutes an efficient experimental technique for the determination of quantities of interest in elasticity problems. Up to now, this method has been applied only to two-dimensional elasticity problems (including plate and shell problems). In this paper, the method of caustics is extended to the case of three-dimensional elasticity problems. The particular problems of a concentrated force and a uniformly distributed loading acting normally on a half-space (on a circular region) are treated in detail. Experimentally obtained caustics for the first of these problems were seen to be in satisfactory agreement with the corresponding theoretical forms. The treatment of various, more complicated, three-dimensional elasticity problems, including contact problems, by the method of caustics is also possible.

Endodontic treatments are routinely done with the help of radiographs. However, radiographs represent only a two-dimensional image of an object. Failure to identify aberrant anatomy can lead to endodontic failure. This case report presents the use of three-dimensional imaging with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) as an adjunct to digital radiography in identification and management of mandibular second molar with three mesial canals.

Aims: Thyroid volume has to be measured in goiters prior to radioiodine treatment to calculate the needed amount of radioactivity. Modern clinical equipment for ultrasonography shows the trend to smaller probes, so that larger goiters do not fit any longer into the probe’s field of view. This study evaluated the feasibility and accuracy of stitching procedures applied to thyroid volumetric analysis performed using three-dimensional ultrasound (3D-US).Material and methods: Ad hoc thyroid phantoms of different shapes (regular, nodular, thickened isthmus) and volumes (ranging between 50 and 400 mL) were developed. In 15 such phantoms the left and right lobes were separately scanned, and the 3D-US datasets were then assembled (stitched) using predefined landmarks and dedicated software. Volumetric analysis was then assessed via a conventional ellipsoid model (em) and manual tracing (mt). The correlation of measured and reference volumes was determined using Pearson’s correlation coefficients and Bland and Altman limits of agreement.Results: The results showed a high level of agreement (with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.974 to 0.999) for all shapes and volumes tested, including the largest volume of 400 mL. The mt method, although more time consuming, proved superior to the em.Conclusions: Stitching-mediated thyroid volumetric analysis is accurate, and its clinical performance should be investigated in future studies

The light driven proton pump bacteriorhodopsin (bR) occurs naturally as two-dimensional crystals. A three-dimensional density map of the structure, at near atomic resolution, has been obtained by studying the crystals using electron cryo-microscopy to obtain diffraction patterns and high resolution micrographs (1).New methods have been developed for analysing micrographs from tilted specimens, incorporating the methods previously developed for untilted specimens that enable large areas to be analysed and corrected for distortions. Data from 72 images, from both tilted and untilted specimens, have been analysed to produce the phases of 2700 independent Fourier components of the structure. The amplitudes of these components have been accurately measured from 150 diffraction patterns. Together, these data represent about half of the full three-dimensional transform to 3.5 Å. The distribution of the data which is included in the map is shown in fig. 1. For specimen tilts up to around 20° the data is essentially complete. For higher tilts the data is more sparsely sampled, and is at present about half complete.
