Application of three-dimensional ultrasonography (3D ultrasound) to pretreatment evaluation of plastic induration of the penis (Peyronie's disease).

Peyronie's disease (PD) or plastic induration of the penis, require complete evaluation of plaques in order to decide the best therapeutic option for patient. The purpose of this study is to compare the findings of three-dimensional ultrasound (3D US) and two-dimensional ultrasound (2D US) in patients with PD. Twenty patients with PD aged 30 to 72 years were included in study. The examination was performed with a 12 MHz linear probe, using 2D US and 3D US. Localization and size of plaques were determined and time needed for imagine acquisition was determined in every case. 3D ultrasound permits the visualization of the entire plaque in the coronal plane of plaque with its precise measurements. No statistical difference in plaque dimensions and its surface area assessment using 3D US and 2D US was found (127.72 mm² vs. 128.74 mm², p>0.05). The possibility to perform detailed analysis of the acquired images using generated digital cube reduced the average duration of the acquisition to 69.8 seconds (median 64 seconds) for 3D US vs. 151.25 seconds (median 145.5 seconds) for 2D US (p<0.05). A supplementary plaque was detected using 3D US. 3D US seems to be a valuable complement of 2D US for patients with PD. The acquisition time is significantly reduced using 3D US comparing to 2D US and thus it is more comfortable for the patient.

Application of three-dimensional ultrasonography in the diagnosis of uterine abnormalities

Objective To investigate the effect of three-dimensional ultrasound in the diagnosis of uterine abnormalities. Methods From January 2017 to December 2017, 50 patients with uterine abnormalities admitted to the Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital of Cixi were selected.GE Voluson E8 high-resolution color Doppler ultrasound system were used for all patients to conduct two-dimensional ultrasound and three-dimensional ultrasound examinations.The results of the two methods, including the time taken for the inspection and the correctness of the inspection were compared. Results The time used for three-dimensional ultrasonic testing[(2.39±0.25)min] and the accuracy of inspection (100%) were better than two-dimensional ultrasonic testing[(5.77±0.66)min, 80%], the differences were statistically significant (t=33.864, χ2=11.111, all P<0.05). Conclusion Three-dimensional ultrasonography can accurately present the external contour of the uterus and the shape of the intima.The abnormal uterus can be timely discovered.At the same time, it has advantages of non-invasive and safe.

The Application of Three-dimensional Ultrasonography in the Prenatal Diagnosis of Arthrogryposis

To present the application of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography in the early prenatal diagnosis of fetal arthrogryposis. A 26-year-old multipara had a fetus with anomalies of the limbs as shown by conventional ultrasonography at 18 weeks of gestation. A follow-up 3D ultrasonogram at the same gestational age was consistent with the diagnosis of arthrogryposis. Based on an abnormal chromosome 18p on the fetal karyotype, termination of the pregnancy was performed at 22 weeks' gestation. The outward appearance of the fetus coincided with the prenatal sonographic findings of arthrogryposis. As an advanced and sophisticated technology, 3D ultrasonography can serve as a useful technique for the early diagnosis of fetal anomalies, including arthrogryposis. The earlier the diagnosis is established, the earlier the appropriate management can be initiated, including counseling, additional work-up and timely termination of pregnancy, if indicated.
