3D Ultrasound: Visualization of Volumetric Data

This article continues a previously published review, “3D ultrasound: Current state, emerging trends and technologies,” which was the first part in a cycle addressing 3D/4D ultrasound technologies. The first part explained the basic mechanisms for obtaining three-dimensional ultrasound images and considered the physical basis, advantages, and drawbacks associated with the use of transducers and the main methods of volumetric scanning. The present article describes the capabilities of the state-of-the-art diagnostic ultrasound scanners to visualize 3D/4D data.
