Medical ultrasound has during the last decades experienced enormous technological progress, and in obstetrics and gynaecology it has become an integral part of the clinical work. Within the last years several new ultrasound techniques have appeared. Three-dimensional ultrasound scanning (3DUS), in which there has been great interest, is one of them. Especially within obstetrics and gynaecology several papers on that topic describe promising results. Foetal diagnostics relying on morphological signs and accurate distance and volume measurements is one of the areas, believed to benefit from 3DUS. However, until now only few prospective works have been published, most of them counted as preliminary. One of the main reasons might be the huge technological challenge. It is proposed that technological progress over the next few years will allow feasible real-time 3D scanning. Thereby obstetrical and gynaecological ultrasound scanning will undoubtedly take another giant leap forward.
在过去几十年里，医学超声技术取得了巨大的进步，在妇产科领域，它已成为临床工作不可或缺的一部分。在过去几年中，出现了几种新的超声技术。三维超声扫描（3DUS）就是其中之一，人们对其兴趣浓厚。特别是在妇产科领域，有几篇关于该主题的论文描述了令人鼓舞的结果。依靠形态学特征以及精确的距离和体积测量进行胎儿诊断是被认为能从3DUS中受益的领域之一。然而，到目前为止，仅有少数前瞻性研究发表，其中大多数被视为初步研究。主要原因之一可能是巨大的技术挑战。有人提出，未来几年的技术进步将使可行的实时三维扫描成为可能。由此，妇产科超声扫描无疑将向前迈出又一大步。
