What is 3D/4D Imaging?

For many years sonography was limited to 2D (2-dimensional) cross-sectional scans through anatomy. Now 2D imaging has been extended into 3D (3-dimensional) scanning and imaging. This requires scanning the ultrasound through many adjacent tissue cross-sections to build up a 3D volume of echo information. This 3D volume of echoes can then be processed and interrogated to present 2D or 3D images of the anatomy.  more

3D imaging technology provides images identical to the way the human eyes see. The color images are generated in tri-dimension: height, width and depth; with the help of continuous shades of color tone. 4D imaging is a continuous series of 3D images that provides a tri-dimensional animation in real time. No more simple black and white pictures images of your unborn Baby. The VOLUSION 730 provides clear color 3D images, and all the movements of your unborn baby can be recorded on a DVD to be watched in the comfort of your home and sent to family overseas. Beyond pretty baby pictures color images the ultrasound Volusion 730 provides a full range of medical diagnosis and can be used for breast imaging, interventional urology and general imaging. It can also be help to research the following: • Determining fetal age • Analyzing fetal development • Evaluating multiple and/or high-risk pregnancies • Detecting fetal abnormalities • Detecting structural problems with the uterus • Detecting ...
