During our twenty years of experience in doing 3D–4D ultrasound, we have realized that 3D–4D is a concept and only thorough understanding of this concept can produce excellent 3D or 4D images. Unfortunately in spite of acquiring the technology, most of the operators do not understand this concept and so cannot make the best out of their investment on money, time, and technology. We felt that there is a huge need to spread the knowledge of this concept and the technique and possible applications of 3D–4D ultrasound. Taking trainings for small batches and one-time learning, we felt was not sufficient. Therefore we thought to create a complete ready-reckoner for 3D–4D ultrasound. In this book, we have concentrated on its applications in obstetrics, gynecology, and infertility. This is our humble effort to present to you a highly simplified version of this truly complex technology.
