We evaluated the clinical usefulness of three-dimensional (3-D) echoencephalography in infants. The transducer was placed on the anterior fontanel and all the sections were serially and automatically scanned in a few seconds. A 3-D image was constructed by an internal computer in a few seconds.
We could produce B-mode images at any direction, including those which could not be achieved via conventional methods. By using 3-D imaging, we could easily grasp the three-dimensional structure of the central nervous system. Further, we could measure ventricular volumes. We concluded that 3-D echoencephalography in infants is very useful.
