Structural pathologies in the uterine cavity such as müllerian duct anomalies (MDAs) and intrauterinelesions (fibroids, polyps, synechiae) may have important roles in subinfertility, implantation failure andpregnancy outcome. Various imaging modalities such as hysterosalpingography (HSG), sonography,laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are used in the evaluation of MDAs and intrauterine lesions. Recently,three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS) has been introduced as a non-invasive, outpatient diagnosticmodality. With increased spatial awareness, it is superior to other techniques used for the same purpose.
