HDlive in the Assessment of Gynecologic Tumors

Abstract

We present the latest HDlive images of uterine and adnexal tumors. Evaluation of these tumors with conventional twodimensional (2D) sonography has been the standard procedure for morphologic assessment, but the introduction of threedimensional (3D), power Doppler and other recent modalities has been of great help in providing more specific details, especially in characterizing malignancy. HDlive is the latest ultrasound modality that enhances 3D and four-dimensional images. Several different gynecologic tumors were assessed using HDlive in this study. HDlive can provide realistic features of the inner surfaces and contents of tumors which are very similar to the gross specimens. An accurate characterization of gynecologic tumors is important when deciding on clinical management options. Therefore, HDlive may be a valuable tool in adjunct to other imaging modalities to achieve an accurate preoperative diagnosis.
