A Review of Three-dimensional Ultrasound Applications in Fetal Growth Restriction

Fetal growth restriction (FGR), previously known as intrauterine growth restriction, remains one of the main challenges in maternity care. Three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS) has the potential to provide improved visualization of the fetal anatomic morphology compared with conventional two-dimensional ultrasound imaging. The present paper reviews 3DUS studies in the diagnosis, evaluation and prediction of FGR, and discusses the possible clinical applications of 3DUS.
