Intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUD) have been a form of birth control for many hundreds of years. Just as their composition and architectures have changed, so have their sonographic appearances and clinical implications. With the emergence of volume imaging brings the ability to consistently evaluate the uterus in the coronal plane, which brings an entirely different diagnostic perspective and thought process for the evaluation of an IUD. This article provides three examples of how volume imaging is extending the sonographic evaluation of patients with IUDs.

Key Words: intrauterine contraceptive device • IUD • volume imaging • bicornuate uterus
