This review discusses the application of three-dimensional Doppler ultrasound technology for assessing vascularity in gynecological conditions, including adnexal masses and ovarian torsion.

This chapter reviews three-dimensional Doppler ultrasound techniques in gynecology, focusing on power Doppler imaging and quantification approaches such as vascularization flow indexing and virtual organ computer-aided analysis (VOCAL), with examples drawn from studies of ovarian, endometrial, and adnexal vascularity. Across referenced work, 3D power Doppler is used to measure perfusion changes across the menstrual cycle, evaluate ovarian stromal blood flow, and assess subendometrial/endometrial vascularity in relation to fertility outcomes, with a cited capability to improve diagnostic accuracy in some settings. A major limitation emphasized by the included literature is that imaging artifacts can affect clinical three-dimensional ultrasound findings, influencing reliability and interpretation. Relevance to endometriosis: the chapter cites a study using three-dimensional power Doppler to image ovarian stromal blood flow in women with endometriosis undergoing in vitro fertilization, though the chapter’s main focus is a broad methodological review of 3D Doppler ultrasound in gynecology.
