Many clinicians remain unconvinced by its reputed advantages and 3D ultrasound is not without disadvantages. These mainly relate to the cost implications and training requirements. 3D ultrasound imaging is still at a relatively early stage in terms of its role as a day-to-day imaging modality in gynecology and reproductive medicine. 3D imaging has several obvious benefits that relate to an improved spatial orientation and the demonstration of multiplanar views, of which the coronal plane is particularly useful. It offers a more objective and reproducible measurement of volume and vascularity of the region of interest, and an improved assessment of normal and pathological pelvic organs through further postprocessing modalities, including tomographic ultrasound imaging and various rendering modalities. It also has the benefit of offering reduced scanning time, the option of teleconsultation and storage of images for re-evaluation. However, other than its application in the assessment and differentiation of uterine anomalies, there is very little evidence demonstrating that 3D ultrasound results in a clinically relevant benefit or negates the need for further investigation. Future work should ensure that 3D ultrasound is compared with conventional imaging in randomized trials where the observer is blind to the outcome, only after which will we truly be able to evaluate its role in an evidence-based manner. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2217\/17455057.4.5.501","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,1,7]],"date-time":"2009-01-07T13:01:35Z","timestamp":1231333295000},"page":"501-516","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["3D Ultrasound in Gynecology and Reproductive Medicine"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Lucy","family":"Coyne","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"King's Mill Hospital, Mansfield Road, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, NG17 4JL, UK, Tel.: +44 1623 622 515; Fax: +44 1623 621 770;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kannamannadiar","family":"Jayaprakasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Derby City General Hospital, Uttoxeter Road, Derby, DE22 NE, UK, Tel.: +44 1332 340 131; Fax: +44 1332 785 566;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nick","family":"Raine-Fenning","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Nottingham, Academic Division of Reproductive Medicine, Nottingham University Research & Treatment Unit in Reproduction (NURTURE), B Floor, East Block, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, Queen's Medical Centre Campus, Derby Road, Nottingham, NG7 2UH, UK, Tel.: +44 115 823 0700; Fax: +44 115 823 0651;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-17455057.4.5.501","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.4009"},{"key":"bibr2-17455057.4.5.501","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.127"},{"key":"bibr3-17455057.4.5.501","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humupd\/6.5.475"},{"key":"bibr4-17455057.4.5.501","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7863\/jum.2003.22.11.1249"},{"key":"bibr5-17455057.4.5.501","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1469-0705.1999.14020081.x"},{"key":"bibr6-17455057.4.5.501","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7863\/jum.1995.14.12.881"},{"key":"bibr7-17455057.4.5.501","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.0960-7692.2001.00539.x"},{"key":"bibr8-17455057.4.5.501","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0015-0282(99)00480-X"},{"key":"bibr9-17455057.4.5.501","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0015-0282(16)58147-3"},{"key":"bibr10-17455057.4.5.501","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0096(199711\/12)25:9<487::AID-JCU4>3.0.CO;2-J"},{"key":"bibr11-17455057.4.5.501","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1028-4559(09)60209-6"},{"key":"bibr12-17455057.4.5.501","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0015-0282(03)00154-7"},{"key":"bibr13-17455057.4.5.501","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.3913"},{"key":"bibr14-17455057.4.5.501","first-page":"171","volume":"26","author":"La Torre R","year":"1999","journal-title":"Clin.
