| Abstract: | OBJECTIVE: To report the potential role of 3D ultrasound to assess the response to treatment in gynecological malignancies. METHODS: The volumes and three 3D power Doppler indices are measured in one case of cervix carcinoma and in one case of ovarian carcinoma with primary radio- and/or chemotherapy before and after treatment. RESULTS: After treatment, tumor volume, vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI), and vascularization-flow index (VFI) were reduced in both two cases. CONCLUSION: 3D ultrasound may provide a new method to assess the response to treatment in gynecological malignancies. |
