Figure 2 Ultrasound image of the uterus obtained using three-dimensional ultrasound and volume contrast imaging (VCI) with 4-mm slices. The multiplanar view shows transverse and coronal sections of the uterus on the left side of the image; a longitudinal section is shown on the right side of the image. Note the round cystic anechoic areas (white arrows) in the myometrium below the endometrium in the junctional zone. The coronal view of the uterus is shown with the junctional zone appearing as a dark halo outside the endometrium on the right and left side of the endometrial cavity (yellow arrow) and with distortion and infiltration by hyperechoic endometrial tissue on the fundus and left side of the image (red arrows).
