I think you are correct to a large extent. I suppose we do volumes because they are considered more accurate... for the same reason that we use the transverse head circumference now rather than just the BPD, and I use the 3D BPD correction... for accuracy. But sometimes I am sure it is overkill... However, once a protocol is established at an institution, then the tendency is to keep using it so that the later measurements can be compared to what is already known.

Why is it important the ovairna volume besides research? it is easy to consider the largest diameter, should not exceed 3 cm. Luis Flores MRCOG

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
