Abdominal and/or vaginal two dimensional (2D) and threedimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) are the ‘gold standard’ technology on which diagnosis and control of gynecological tumors depend. In recent years, a series of software that initially generated enormous interest, have been introduced to improve 2D/3D US image quality and diagnostic accuracy. Many of them have shown limited interests. The last one and the most interesting is HDlive which incorporates a movable virtual adjustable light that, as it penetrates, produces selective illumination with respective shadows that result from the structures where light is reflected. This combination of lights and shadows results in spectacular images which are much more real than those obtained with conventional 3D US. This note simply pretends to show the quality of images obtained in cases of gynecological tumors using this easy-tohandle high definition ultrasound technology.
