Assessment of levator hiatus by 3D ultrasound volume contrast imaging in normal nulliparas

The ability of 3D ultrasound volume contrast imaging in C-plane (VCI-C) in the assessment of female levator hiatus was analyzed in eighty normal nulliparas. Interoperator variability in levator hiatus measurements was analyzed. The comparison of the axial image of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and C-plane image of volume contrast imaging (VCI) in thirty normal nulliparas was also done. It shows that VCI-C can clearly demonstrate the structure and accurately quantitates the size of the levator hiatus. It is reliable, convenient and without contraindication in assessment of female levator hiatus. The technology opens up entirely new modality for assessing female pelvic floor.

复杂工程环境岩土工程勘察与评价

重庆江北嘴A07地块工程场地环境复杂,场地地层有浅部填土、堆积层及下部基岩,且周边已建及待建构筑物众多,对开发地块的岩土工程勘察与工程建设影响很大。运用工程地质和水文地质勘察、岩土试验、声波测试、钻孔电视成像等综合勘探手段开展岩土工程勘察与评价,获得复杂场地工程建设所需的资料,可为类似工程的实施提供借鉴。
