3-Scape Real-Time 3D Imaging Option
WARNING: To avoid technique-related artifacts, you must be thoroughly familiar with the
techniques of 3D and 4D imaging. Read the entire 3D and 4D imaging chapter before using the
3-Scape real-time 3D imaging or fourSight 4D ultrasound imaging technology.
The 3D imaging feature is a system option that allows the acquisition of three-dimensional

ultrasound images. MultiPlanar Rendering (MPR) provides a view of each segment of the
volume as an arbitrary slice.
Real-time reconstruction after free-hand acquisition
