Application progress on three-dimensional ultrasound measurement of cervical volume in the field of obstetrics and gynecology
In recent years,with the continuous development of ultrasound technology,three-dimensional ultrasound imaging has been widely used in the field of obstetrics and gynecology,mainly in the diagnosis of fetal malformations,evaluation of uterine cavity lesions,and measurement of placental volume,etc.Three-dimensional ultrasound measurement of cervical volume uses an ultrasound probe to measure length,diameter,and volume of cervix in the vagina of women,providing a complete and three-dimensional image of cervical structure,which is superior to traditional two-dimensional ultrasound,and provides important information about cervical function and disease for clinical physicians.Three-dimensional ultrasound measurement of cervical volume can predict preterm delivery,but currently cannot replace cervical canal length;cervical volume can evaluate cervical maturity in late pregnancy and predict the outcome of induced abortion;it has potential clinical significance for the diagnosis and prevention of cervical diseases.The measurement of cervical volume provides new research directions and reference value for clinical physicians.Due to the current lack of research,more literature and studies are needed in the future to verify application value of three-dimensional ultrasound measurement of cervical volume in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.
