3D Gynaecological Scan
Two dimensional trans-vaginal ultrasound provides medical practitioners with reliable images of the uterus and ovaries.
A three dimensional (3-D) ultrasound examination enables the uterus to be sonographically “reconstructed” to provide a coronal view.

3-D ultrasound imaging also facilitates in the evaluation of the uterine cavity for the presence of endometrial polyps (benign growths of the lining of the uterus), uterine fibroids (benign tumours of the muscle of the uterus) or for misplaced intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCD). 3-D ultrasound imaging is also used in conjunction with saline infusion sonohysterosonography.
The 3-D ultrasound examination is typically performed at the same time as your standard 2-D transvaginal scan using a probe that has both 2-D and 3-D ultrasound capability.
There is no need to specifically request a 3-D pelvic ultrasound examination and no extra preparation is required.
Three-dimensional ultrasound (3D USG) is a imaging technique that facilitates the conversion of a two-dimensional (2D) image to a volume-based real-time image. A 3D pelvic ultrasound is an examination that enables the uterus to be sonographically “reconstructed”, providing accurate information about the shape and cavity not obtainable with routine 2-D imaging.
The 3D ultrasound examination is typically performed at the same time as your standard 2D transvaginal scan using a probe that has both 2D and 3D ultrasound capability. Ultrasound uses high frequency pulsed sound waves to produce images of the organs in the pelvis.
A pelvic scan can help your doctor to detect any pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). However, there’s no single test for diagnosing such infection. Based on your symptoms and a gynaecological examination, your doctor might suggest you to take other tests e.g. urine and blood test.
A pelvic ultrasound scan is one of the main tests carried out to diagnose fibroids. Your doctor will usually request a pelvic scan if during a routine physical examination any sign of fibroid were found.
