THE BASICS OF 3D/4D ULTRASOUND
It is important to understand that sonologists around the world have always
conjured three-dimensional images of anatomy or pathology in their minds while
doing their 2D scans. However, until recently it was not possible to do this
type of reconstruction on patient data acquired using ultrasound. The advent
of 3D and 4D ultrasound for the first time allowed us a peek into the mechanics
of thinking of a sonologist by acquiring the volume data and allowing us to
reconstruct the images in different planes on the ultrasound machine or a
workstation.
