How many planes does 3D ultrasound evaluate to locate an ectopic pregnancy?

1 plane
2 planes
3 planes
4 planes

The correct answer is: 3 planes

Three-dimensional ultrasound evaluates three planes to locate an ectopic pregnancy. This method allows for a comprehensive assessment of the pelvic area by viewing anatomy from different angles and perspectives. Each plane—transverse, sagittal, and coronal—provides unique visual information that enhances the detection and characterization of the ectopic tissue. By examining these three planes, healthcare practitioners can identify the presence of an ectopic pregnancy more accurately, as certain findings might be more evident in one plane compared to another. This multidimensional approach improves diagnostic capabilities, ensuring better management of potential complications associated with ectopic pregnancies.
