The advantage of 3D Ultrasound is that any desired plane through pelvic organs can be obtained. The coronal “Face on” view of the uterus and endometrium which is rarely seen with 2D can easily be obtained by 3D. Thus 3-Dimensional is very successfully used to examine the uterus to diagnose and classify.
Most pelvic ultrasounds are performed using both the transabdominal and transvaginal approaches. Transabdominal ultrasound involves scanning through your lower abdomen. Transabdominal ultrasound usually provides an overview of the pelvis rather than detailed images.
