“…12 Improvements in 3D, allow us detailed examination of the position of this kind of devices. Recently, the introduction of the HDLive technique give us more clear images of IUDs, especially of Mirena's ones, which is useful not only for making easier an ordinary examination, but also for aiding us to see properly their location when the 2D or 3D US are not enough.…”

Background:The intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) has been one of the most commonly used forms of contraception throughout the world over the last 50 years. This study aimed to determine the incidence of mal-positioned IUCD (located abnormally in the myometrium or in the cervix) in patients presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding by using 3D ultrasound in comparison with 2D ultrasound. Methods: This observational cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 patients who underwent gynecological 2D ultrasound. They had a 3D volume acquisition of the uterus in addition to the standard 2D ultrasound evaluation in cases with abnormal uterine bleeding. The coronal view of the uterus was then reconstructed to evaluate endometrial polyps and the position of fibroids, and to determine the configuration of the uterus. Results The mean age was 31.3± 2.85. The mean BMI was 27.4± 2.40. 85% of cases were displacement, 4.7% penetration, 9.4% malposition. There were 45.0% with Pelvic pain, 85.0 % with Abnormal Bleeding. There were 21.0% with Localization of IUD, 1.0% Suspected fibroid, 1.0% Suspected ovarian cyst. There were 79.0% by 2D mode, 96% by 3D mode. Regarding 3D and 2D mode in detection of malposition of the IUD. There were 95.0% by 3D mode, 77% 2D mode. As regard 3D mode in detection of malposition of the IUD, Sensitivity was 95.0%, Specificity was 90.0%, PPV was 90.47%, NPV was 94.7%. Conclusion: 3D ultrasound assessment followed has proven a higher accuracy when compared to the 2D technique in the visualization of IUDs and the diagnosis of mal-positioned IUDs.

“…More than half of the patients with a malpositioned IUD are asymptomatic. Still, there are no general guidelines for a routine transvaginally US verification after IUD insertion [84]. The 3D US technique has the advantage to allow subsequent reconstruction of the coronal plane [83].…”

Intrauterine devices (IUDs) represent one of the most important methods used for contraception. The methods vary in terms of efficiency, acceptability, costs, and potential complications. Early methods have been improved, and ultrasound (US) evaluation has become an important tool to diagnose the clear majority of IUDs complications. This chapter presents a comprehensive and up-to-date status regarding the use of intrauterine devices (IUDs) for birth control and family planning. The topics discussed in the manuscript will involve the current knowledge on the history, types, mechanisms, health benefits, and risks. More, the present paper presents the medical techniques for inserting and removing a IUD, and the role of US to confirm proper IUD placement. Also, this chapter offers practical guidance in managing problems of continuing users and discusses the clinical circumstances that require reconsideration of the contraception methods.
