5-2-5 Description of Software Options
To activate the software options, see Section 8-8 "Replacement or Activation of Options" on page 8-15.
NOTE: Additional options are not yet implemented in the Voluson® 730Expert.
5-2-5-1 Real Time 4D
Real Time 4D mode is obtained through continuous volume acquisition and parallel calculation of 3D
rendered images. In Real Time 4D mode the volume acquisition box is at the same time the render box.
All information in the volume box is used for the render process. In Real Time 4D mode a “frame rate”
of up 25 volumes/second is possible. By freezing the acquired volumes, size can be adjusted,
manipulated manually as known from the Voluson 3D Mode.
5-2-5-2 DICOM
Voluson® 730Expert software package providing following DICOM functionality:
• Storage Service Class
• Print Management Service Class
• Modality Worklist Management Service Class
Sending of reports - All OB/Gyn measurements can be sent to a PC. Receiving of these reports is
supported by ViewPoint workstation “PIA” only. All other workstations can be adapted individually.
5-2-5-3 Real Time 4D-Biopsy
For minimal invasive procedures like biopsies, ultrasound is a widely used method to visualize and
guide the needle during puncture. The advantage in comparison with other imaging methods is the real-
time display, quick availability and easy access to any desired region of the patient. The 4D biopsy
allows for real time control of the biopsy needle in 3D multi-planar display during the puncture. The user
is able to see the region of interest in three perpendicular planes (longitudinal, transversal and frontal
section) and can guide the biopsy needle accurately into the centre of the lesion.
