The role of three-dimensional imaging in the investigation of IUD malposition.

Abstract

Three-dimensional ultrasound is a new and promising imaging tool which provides much better view of the endometrial cavity. This is especially useful in uterus examination and in the detection of IUDs because structures that are not located in one single plane can be imaged simultaneously. Three-dimensional ultrasound is considered to be more secure and safer diagnostic technique to determine the location of IUDs than hysteroscopic evaluation (Fig. 2, Ref. 17).
