The purpose of this study was to determine the time savings of 3D compared to conventional neonatal neurosonography protocols. The time required to perform 3D (scan and reconstruction) and conventional neonatal neurosonography examinations was measured in 17 patients. Three-dimensional scanning and reconstruction resulted in an average time savings of 8 minutes and 36 seconds per examination compared to conventional neonatal neurosonography protocols. In conclusion, the time savings from 3D with tomographic ultrasound imaging can have a significant impact on patient care and sonographer productivity.

Key Words: tomographic ultrasound imaging (TUI) • 3D sonography • neonatal neurosonography
