This chapter describes how to use 3D and 4D Mode, also referred to as Volume Mode.
The Volume Mode allows for scanning a tissue volume and subsequent analysis of sections of the
volume in 3 dimensions. The liberal selection of sections within the volume and the simultaneous
real-time 4D display of three orthogonal planes and a rendered 3D image represents a new
dimension for e.g., the diagnosis of fetal abnormalities. The Volume Mode provides access to
sections unachievable by the 2D scan technique. A parallel interface provides the possibility to save
volume data on a hard disk drive for repeated analysis anytime.
