ABSTRACT
Recent advances in three-dimensional ultrasound have made accurate non-invasive measurements of the follicular, ovarian and endometrial volumes feasible. Storage capacities, reconstruction of the volume images and simultaneous viewing of three orthogonal planes are the main advantages of this method in the field of infertility. In the not too distant future this examination may become the method of choice for assessment of the morphology of the uterine cavity as well as for performing ultrasound-directed puncture procedures and evaluating tubal patency. Here we review the potential application of this novel technique in each segment of female reproduction.
