“…There are fewer medical publications describing the study of ovarian tumors by 3D ultrasound with or without Doppler. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][29][30][31] Nevertheless, it is unquestionable that the image quality and definition of structures are enormously superior with 3D ultrasonography.…”

Modern three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound tools, HDlive and radiance system architecture or silhouette offer unique ways for assessing women with ovarian masses; providing realistic 3D reconstructions of the ovarian tumors, together with essential information to facilitate the differentiation between benignity and malignancy of ovarian masses.

Most high-end ultrasound systems now incorporate three-dimensional imaging as a standard feature. As such, the use of three-dimensional ultrasound is becoming routine in many facets of medical ultrasound, especially obstetrics and gynaecology.Three-dimensional ultrasound can enhance or even alter a diagnosis in many gynaecological pathologies. However, like any technique, the usefulness and accuracy of the application relies on the operator having adequate application knowledge and technical acquisition skills to be able to use it to its full potential. This is the first part of a two-part series on this topic. This article serves to educate sonographers and other ultrasound users on how to incorporate a three-dimensional ultrasound assessment into their routine gynaecological examinations, why this should be done and how to overcome some of the pitfalls encountered with this technique.

“…Another important ability of 3D-US is volume calculation even in irregularly shaped structures and with the 3D power Doppler angiography is possible evaluate 'real' vascularity of each organ and tissue with the reconstruction of the vascular tree (Figure 9, Figure 10 & Figure 12) that can be subjectively analyzed [61] but also, using dedicated software, evaluated by power Doppler-derived indices [62]. The most used indices are the vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI), and the vascularization-flow index (VFI).…”

Ultrasonography is today the method of choice for distinguishing between benign and malignant adnexal pathologies. Using pattern recognition several types of tumors can be recognized according to their characteristic appearance on gray-scale imaging. Color Doppler imaging should be used only to perform a semiquantitative color score or evaluate the flow location. International Ovarian Tumor Analysis group had standardized definitions characterizing adnexal masses and suggested the use of 'simple rules' in premenopausal women. Recently, the use of 3D vascular indices has been proposed but its potential use in clinical practice is debated. Also computerized aided diagnosis algorithms showed encouraging results to be confirmed in the future.
