THE VALUE OF C-PLANE IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL MULTIPLANAR-ULTRASONOGRAPHY

Purpose: There is still an discussion about usefullness of three-dimensional ultrasonography compared by two-dimensional ultrasonography for diagnosing fetal malformations. But beside of fetal facing with three-dimensional technique there are much more new possibilities for imaging the fetus. Aim of this study was to evaluate the benefit of using the C-plane in multiplanar mode in comparison to two-dimensional technique. Methods and Materials: Patients between 20–24 weeks of gestation (n=25) presenting for routine second trimester screening were evaluated by two-dimensional and additionaly by three-dimensional u…
