Résumé
Transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) is an effective tool for evaluating the integrity of the levator ani muscle (LAM). Several operating steps are required to obtain the standard multi-slice image of the LAM, which is experience dependent and time consuming. This study was aimed at evaluating the feasibility and reproducibility of the built-in software, Smart-pelvic™, in reconstructing standard tomographic images of LAM from 3D/4D TPUS volumes. This study was conducted at a tertiary teaching hospital, enrolling women who underwent TPUS. Tomographic images of the LAM were automatically reconstructed by Smart-pelvic The ultrasound volume of a total of 104 patients were included in this study. Using Smart-pelvic Using Smart-pelvic
