Recent advances in ultrasound and computer technology have given quick rise to 3D sonographic imaging. This case report demonstrates a placental site nodule/plaque within the endometrial cavity. The evaluation of the nodule was enhanced by the use of 3D imaging during sonohysterography, as well as coronal multiplanar reconstruction.
