Sagittal Coronal Transverse
Also called multiplaner, surface rendering,
volume scanning
Originated about 25 years ago More widely available 1990’s
Get the middle point in the picture in 2D
For face this is the profile
Angle transducer all the way to side
Want to start in amniotic fluid
Move smoothly through anatomy till you reach other
side
Hopefully ending in amniotic fluid
The machine then calculates volume, based on the 2D
images obtained
After you have the quad screen
Cut off surrounding objects Adjust transparency for desired effect
Tissue Heating Cavitation
Gas bubbles developing within tissues due to
prolonged exposure.
Caviation effects are possible within range used
for diagnostic examination
Transient cavitation
Bursting of bubbles causing cellular damage
Rise in temperature of 2⁰C
AIUM clearly discourages US for fun Scanning for parents increases scan time AIUM prohibits videotaping because it
lengthens scan time
What are we gaining? Extra charge for insurance companies Must be ordered by perinatologist—not OB
3 D Technology Approved October 1999 Currently, two-dimensional (2D) gray-scale real-time sonography is the primary method of medically indicated anatomic imaging with ultrasound. While three-dimensional (3D) sonography may be helpful in diagnosis, it should not be considered more than a developing technology. Its role is restricted to an adjunct of, but not a replacement for, 2D ultrasound. As with any developing technology, its diagnostic value may improve, and its diagnostic role will be periodically re-evaluated.
The new position statement is as follows: The AIUM advocates the responsible use of diagnostic ultrasound for all fetal imaging. The AIUM understands the growing pressures from patients for the performance of ultrasound examinations for bonding and reassurance purposes largely driven by the improving image quality of 3D sonography and by more widely available information about these advances. Although there is only preliminary scientific evidence that 3D sonography has a positive impact on parental--fetal bonding, the AIUM recognizes that many parents may pursue scanning for this purpose.
As Low As Reasonably
Achievable
Benefits must outweigh the risks Only when medically indicated
Determining gender is not medically indicated
unless risk of x-linked disease
Maternal body habitus!!!!! Not enough amniotic fluid Face looking down Face looking up but into or against placenta Arms or legs in front of face If scanning extremities, almost always have
problems with surrounding structures
Only a problem for 3D, not 4D
Fetal movement Sonographer not keeping steady movement across
structure
- oh, aah
Color Anyone?
Face looking into placenta
scary
Even scarier
I’m an alien
OB
Cleft lip and palate
Usually ordered after previously seen in 2D
Central nervous system anomaly

Vein of Galen aneurysms Periventricular leukomalacia Ventriculomegally Holoprosencephaly Circle of Willis
2D images of ventriculomegaly and periventricular leukomalacia 3D imaging of same infant
Breast tumor with power angio
Echotexture
cystic or solid; homogeneous or heterogeneous
Shape
taller than wide
Shadowing
bilateral or unilateral
Higher accuracy for staging esophageal,
gastric, colo-rectal cancer
Used to show effects of chemo/radiation
therapy
Follow up for early detection of recurrences
after tumor resection
2D image of lining of GI tract
If non-moving object, can acquire all three
planes in time it takes to acquire one
Physician can manipulate images later if
proper recording techniques are used
Procedures
Movement of object or sonographer Operator dependent Physician may take longer to read study
Fine needle biopsies Ethanol ablation RF ablation Cryoablation Catheter placement for drainage
Adds time as a forth dimension Place probe.
Mechanics inside move angle for you. Very large probe
Less room for operator error Same constraints as 3D
Need amniotic fluid, fetal position
Great for real-time procedures
Most sonographers retire due to MSI
Carpel tunnel
4D is coined by GE Live 3D used by other manufacturers ATL (now Philips) had live 3D before GE introduced
4D
Marketed to public rather than Doctors and
Sonographers—why?
Why marketed for OB instead of other modalities? Similar to Pharmaceuticals Is this marketing to public effective?
