“…A fourth study examined the ability of 3D ultrasound examination to discriminate between endometrial carcinoma and hyperplasia 14 , and a fifth study the ability to distinguish cancer and hyperplasia from other benign conditions 15 . All five studies reported on the diagnostic performance of endometrial volume measurements 5,6,13 -15 and three of them also on that of 3D power Doppler flow indices 13 -15 .…”

“…No important differences were seen for endometrial thickness. As regard to the study by Odeh et al (10), mean thickness was 11 mm and 15.5 mm in the normal and pathologic groups, respectively (p<0.005).…”

“…A fifth study assessed the potential of 3D ultrasound to differentiate endometrial carcinoma and hyperplasia (3), and a sixth paper assessed the potential to differentiate malignancy and hyperplastic tissue from other non-cancerous conditions (10). The six studies discussed the diagnostic accuracy of endometrial volume measurement, and four also reported on that of 3D power Doppler flow indices (3,7,9,10). In the study by Gruboeck et al (6), ROC curves highlighted that endometrial volume was better than endometrial thickness in diagnosing endometrial malignancy.…”

“…To improve on these results, researchers added 3D PD to their studies. Vascular indices, namely VI, FI, and VFI, were significantly higher in patients with endometrial carcinoma compared to endometrial hyperplasia [40,42,43]. The difference was even more prominent when myometrial invasion was more than 50 % [43].…”

“…Endometrial volume is measured using virtual organ computer-aided analysis (VOCAL) or a similar software. Studies have shown that EV is a better predictor of endometrial cancer than ET [39][40][41]. However, each study has defined a different cut-off value for EV, ranging between 1.35 and 3.56 ml.…”

Three-dimensional ultrasound (3D USG) is a fast-evolving imaging technique that holds a great potential for use in gynecology. Its sensitivity and specificity is reported to be close to 100 % for diagnosing congenital uterine anomalies, comparable with those of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and laparoscopy. With 3D USG, a coronal view of the uterus can be obtained, clearly outlining the external contour of the uterus and providing accurate information about the shape of the cavity. Although 3D USG may not perform well in thin endometria, combining it with saline infusion sonography (SIS) overcomes this problem. Research shows that 3D USG is more sensitive and specific than two-dimensional ultrasound (2D USG) in defining and mapping uterine lesions, such as fibroids, adenomyosis, and intrauterine synechia. In cases of suspected malignancy, 3D USG is mainly used in the initial evaluation of patients. Measuring various indices and mapping vascular architecture with 3D power Doppler have been proposed for evaluating adnexal masses. Although some studies raised hope, no consensus is reached about its use, success, and limitations. In urogynecology, translabial 3D USG is proved to be a valuable tool, as it provides instant access to the axial plane, which clearly depicts the relationship of the vagina, urethra, rectum, and the muscular pelvic floor. Studies report no significant differences between translabial 3D USG and MRI measurements for evaluation of the pelvic floor. In conclusion, adding 3D USG to routine gynecological workup can be beneficial for clinicians, as it provides fast and accurate results in a relatively cost-effective setting.
