title: HDLive Silhouette Inversion Mode in Diagnosis of Complete Hydatidiform Mole.
abstract: We present our experience of using the HDLive silhouette inversion mode to assess complete hydatidiform mole early in pregnancy. The HDLive silhouette inversion mode clearly depicted the number, size, and spatial position of molar vesicles, compared with conventional two-dimensional sonography or the HDLive inversion mode. Moreover, spatial relationships among molar vesicles, intrauterine anechoic fluid collection, and the uterine wall enabled the clear localization of the lesion. This technique provides new insights, and has the potential to supplement conventional two-dimensional sonography in the diagnosis of complete hydatidiform mole.
