This volume provides a thorough and practical understanding of the technology and clinical uses of three-dimensional ultrasound. The book will assist radiologists in asking the right questions in choosing the 3-D ultrasound equipment to buy for their hospitals. Furthermore, this is the first book on 3-D ultrasound that covers all areas of body imaging. The authors explain volume imaging and volume sonography technology and present state-of-the-art information on acquisition and display methods, visualization, and quantitative analysis. The advantages of different types of acquisition and display are discussed, to assist radiologists in comparing different types of equipment. The section on clinical applications provides site-by-site coverage of obstetric, gynecologic, genitourinary, abdominal, vascular, cardiac, breast, and ophthalmic imaging. A chapter on interventional uses of 3-D ultrasound is also included. The book concludes with a preview of emerging technologies and clinical applications.
