During the last decade, there has been a huge advancement in the use of transperineal ultrasound (TPU) in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. Its main applications in obstetrics include the monitoring of fetal progression in labor and recently the assessment of maternal pelvic dimensions, whereas in gynecology, TPU is at present widely used for the evaluation of the female pelvic floor, opening new boundaries for the assessment of pelvic floor disorders. The association of volumetric three-dimensional techniques has largely contributed to the remarkable progress that has occurred in the use of TPU. The aim of this paper is to offer an overview of the advantages, challenges and future perspectives of the use of TPU for women's imaging.
在过去十年中,经会阴超声(TPU)在妇产科领域的应用取得了巨大进展。它在产科的主要应用包括监测分娩时胎儿的进展情况,以及最近对产妇骨盆尺寸的评估;而在妇科方面,TPU目前广泛用于评估女性盆底,为盆底疾病的评估开辟了新的领域。容积三维技术的结合在很大程度上推动了TPU应用方面取得的显著进展。本文旨在概述TPU在女性成像应用中的优势、挑战和未来前景。
