1. A method to determine amniotic fluid volume in digital images, the method comprising:

  • positioning an ultrasound transceiver to probe a first portion of a uterus of a patient, the transceiver adapted to obtain a first plurality of scanplanes;

    re-positioning the ultrasound transceiver to probe a second portion of the uterus to obtain a second plurality of scanplanes;

    enhancing the images of the amniotic fluid regions in the scanplanes with a plurality of algorithms;

    registering the scanplanes of the first plurality with the second plurality;

    associating the registered scanplanes into a composite array, anddetermining the amniotic fluid volume of the amniotic fluid regions within the composite array.
