5.11.4 Color 3D
Color 3D imaging provides more visualized flow information, especially in heart and kidney application,
which helps in observing cardiovascular diseases.
NOTE: Color 3D is an option, which includes color Smart 3D, color STIC and static 3D flow imaging.
5.11.4.1 Basic Procedures for Color 3D
1. Enter into color 3D image acquisition preparation status:
(1) Obtain a feasible Power/Color image with the volume probe.
(2) Press
konb to enter 3D/4D image acquisition preparation status.
2. Set the acquisition, displaying related parameters, select acquire mode.
3. Press <Update> to begin image acquisition.
4. After the acquisition is completed, the system enters into image view status; you can perform
operations like image edit and storage.
5. Save image as necessary.
5.11.4.2 Operation Controls
Parameter
Description
Display
Function: you can choose to display only color images or gray scale images, or to
mix them.

Affects MPR as well as VR.
Opacity
Function: to set the transparency value for VR rendering.
Range: 0%-100%.
Smooth
Function: to smooth the Color image and erase artifacts by time averaging.
Range: 0-10.
Affects MPR as well as VR.
Mix
Function: to adjust mix percentage of gray scale information and color
information. When display format is 2D&C, you can adjust this parameter.

Image Zooming
Same as in 3D/4D mode.
Comment & Body
Mark
Operations are the same as those in the other modes.
MPR Measurement
2D related measurement can be performed on MPR. For details, please refer to
[Advanced Volume].
Tips: you cannot perform measurement on acquisition preparation status.
