In vitro volume measurement by three-dimensional ultrasound: comparison of two different systems.
The aim of this study was to compare volumetric capabilities in vitro between two different three-dimensional technical modalities with a transvaginal transducer. We intended to evaluate the effect of different sizes and shapes on the accuracy of the measurements, and to establish criteria for choosing the appropriate system for three-dimensional volume measurement. We did not find significant differences between the two systems, either in the results or in their operation. We confirmed the high accuracy of three-dimensional volume measurements in vitro.
