Abstract：Objective: To discuss the advantage of the three-dimensional ultrasound with Xplane imaging in measuring corpus callosum, cavity of septum pellucidum and cerebellomedullary cistern of the newborns. Methods: Scanning through the fontanelle window, ordinary two-dimensional ultrasound and three-dimensional ultrasound with xplane imaging were used to measure the size of the neonatal corpus callosum and the septum pellucidum cavity. Scanning through the temporal window, three-dimensional ultrasound with Xplane imaging was used to measure the size of the cerebellomedullary cistern. Results: ①Some cavity of septum pellucidum disappeared in full-term babies but all existed in premature babies, and the volume of cavity of septum pellucidum in premature babies was greater than that of full-term babies. ②There was no difference in the reference value of the corpus callosum beween the common two-dimensional ultrasound and the three-dimensional ultrasound with Xplane imaging, but three-dimensional ultrasound with xplane imaging obviously saved time. ③The anteroposterior diameter of the newborn cerebellomedullary cistern had no correlation with the volume. Conclusion: Three-dimensional ultrasound with Xplane imaging is convenient, fast and accurate in measuring the size of the corpus callosum, cavity of septum pellucidum and cerebellomedullary cistern.
