“…This reconstructed vascular tree can be subjectively analyzed. 20 On the other hand, using VOCAL software three-dimensional power Doppler-derived indices can be calculated from a given ROI. 21 These indices were named Vascularization Index (VI), Flow Index (FI), and Vascularization-Flow Index (VFI).…”

Three-dimensional ultrasound is an imaging technique that is being introduced into clinical practice in several medical specialties. Although this technique is unlikely to replace the two-dimensional ultrasound, its role as a diagnostic tool is being explored. In fact, in the field of gynecology there has been a steady increase in the number of papers published in the last few years. These applications include: imaging the uterus, uterine cavity, adnexa, and pelvic floor as well as reproductive medicine, such as the prediction of IVF success or ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. The aim of this paper is to review the current status of threedimensional ultrasound in clinical practice in gynecology.

“…32 In this technique the examiner looks for focal vessel lumen changes in order to see within the arterial lumen. Conceptually, these authors propose to use stored 3D images of the vascularity to be sliced and cut away, so as to expose an optimal length of intraluminal arterial flow in the coronal plane.…”

Abstract:The differential diagnosis of adnexal masses still constitutes a major clinical challenge. B-mode ultrasonography is the most used imaging technique and it is the base for this differential diagnosis with acceptable results in terms of sensitivity but a relatively high false positive rate for predicting ovarian cancer. The role of pulsed Doppler remains controversial and seems to be not reproducible in clinical practice. In the last years, a new technology such as 3D ultrasound-both morphology and 3D Angio power Doppler-has become available for discriminating between benign and malignant ovarian tumors. In this article I aim to review critically recent literature of this topic.

“…17 Using 3D Doppler and the software of the Voluson 730 Expert (Milwaukee, USA) I now have had extensive experience looking at specific details of benign vs "chaotic" or "abnormal" flow. Routinely, several volumes of data are stored and analyzed by all the available options.…”

Malignancy has classically been described, as having vessels "seemingly deployed without purpose.'' In other words, vascularity that does not have tree like in branching with orderly distal tapering is abnormal. 3D imaging can create a virtual cast of vessels, to be "cut into" and "manipulated" on a computer monitor. This can be thought of as a most valuable "Tissue Block" of data, unlike any other imaging test, and I believe, holds the key to a more accurate diagnosis of ovarian cancer.
