Ultrasound has been used in medicine since the Second World War and is recognised as a non-invasive, non-radiative, real-time and inexpensive imaging modality. For these reasons, and with the advent of three-dimensional medical imaging, there has been a renewed interest in ultrasound and three-dimensional ultrasound in particular.

This resource aims to collect all publicly available information on three-dimensional ultrasound and make it available to everybody. Although the majority of research has been into medical uses of three-dimensional ultrasound (such is my own interest as well), I would like these pages to contain information from all disciplines since the very nature of this area is multidisciplinary. Please email to me anything that you find missing from these pages.

Due to the growing size of available information I've divided this resource into the following areas:

• Research institutions involved in 3D ultrasound
• Medical professionals using 3D ultrasound technology
• Publications on 3D ultrasound
• Commercial institutions offering 3D ultrasound technology

• For pre-loved ultrasound equipment check out Pyramid Medical, Inc. and Choice Medical Systems, Inc.
• Dr. Joe Woo's medical ultrasound page - an excellent collection of information about ultrasound imaging in medicine in general for patients or just for interest.
• Medical Ultrasound Imaging WWW Information and Sites - a wealth of information on ultrasound imaging including manufacturers, research, information sites and publications.
• Medical Imaging Internet Resources - general medical imaging resource with pointers to available data on the Internet.
• Ultranet - a page with links related to general ultrasound technology.
