Image Optimization 5-39
Tips: changing the view direction only changes the 3D/4D image; images of the 3
sections do not change.
Probe
A 2D imaging probe can be applied for Smart 3D imaging, however, to realize static
3D imaging or 4D imaging, a volume probe should be selected.
Sectional
plane
The principle of 3D imaging is to render a 3D image from multiple 2D image
information. The following describes the spatial relation of 3 sectional planes (A, B
and C) and the 3D image.
The sectional plane can be viewed in the following status:
z
3D image viewing status of Smart3D
z
3D image viewing status of Static 3D
z
Real time 4D or frozen 4D status
In the quad display format view, the screen displays A, B, C 3 sectional planes and
the 3D image.
A, B, C section images are illustrated as the following sections of 3D image.
z
Section A: corresponds to the 2D image in B mode. Section A is the sagittal
section in fetal face up posture, as shown in the figure A above.
