Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound is an invaluable tool in the detection and evaluation of many uterine anomalies and improves upon the traditional approach of two-dimensional (2D) ultrasonography. We aim to describe an easy way of assessing the uterine coronal plane using the basic three-dimensional ultrasound in everyday gynecological practice.
