5-16 Section 5-2 - General Information
5-2-4-1 3D/4D Advance
5-2-4-1-1 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 40 volumes/second is possible. By freezing the acquired volumes, size can be
adjusted, manipulated manually as known from the Voluson 3D Mode

5-2-4-2-2 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. 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.
5-2-4-3 DICOM
Software package providing following DICOM functionality:
• Storage Service Class
• Print Management Service Class
• Structured Reporting Service Class
• Storage Commit Service Class
• Modality Performed Procedure Step Service Class
Sending of reports - Additionally 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.
* Without using structured reporting.
5-2-4-4 Anatomical M-Mode (AMM)
Anatomical M-Mode displays a distance/time plot from a cursor line, which can be defined freely.
The M-Mode display changes according to the motion of the M cursor. In the Dual format, two defined
distances can be displayed at the same time.
AMM is available in grayscale and color modes (CF, HD Flow)
• simultanous Display of 2 M-Mode Cursors in 2D Mode
• each Cursor is freely rotatable
• can be done after Freeze and on reloaded Cine
5-2-4-5 Advanced SRI
A type of image noise or interference is generally considered undesirable and can obscure the quality
or interpretation of B-mode images. Although somewhat associated with the underlying echogenicity of
