Three-dimensional ultrasound is an established diagnostic imaging technique in
many specialties. However, in neonates, infants and children three-dimensional
ultrasound still is underutilized, partially due to time constraints for
post-processing and restricted availability, of devices as well as dedicated
pediatric transducers. Also reimbursement issues still need to be addressed. This
editorial review presents more or less established pediatric three-dimensional
ultrasound applications with proven diagnostic benefit as well as potential
future applications of three-dimensional/four-dimensional ultrasound in infants
and children, aiming at enhancing research and promoting practical use of
three-dimensional ultrasound in relevant pediatric conditions. Particularly,
applications in neonatal neurosonography, ultrasound of the urogenital tract as
well as some other small part and miscellaneous queries are highlighted.
Additional other potential and future indications are discussed briefly, also
mentioning restrictions and potential future developments. In summary,
three-dimensional ultrasound holds some potential to widen sonographic diagnostic
capabilities throughout childhood and hopefully will be increasingly investigated
and introduced into clinical practice provided respective equipment and pediatric
three-dimensional/four-dimensional ultrasound transducers become available.
