摘要
Quasi-three-dimensional volume imaging provides an inexpensive means of evaluating the usefulness of three-dimensional imaging. The technique works most efficiently with water-skin interfaces and therefore we investigated its application in obstetrical ultrasonography. Three-dimensional perspectives of the normal and abnormal fetal head and face were spectacular and at times provided more information than the two-dimensional images. The ability of an inexperienced observer to interpret the three-dimensional image more easily may have a role in training sonographers and counseling parents whose fetuses have structural defects. Volume imaging has certain limitations and can only be used as a complementary technique.
