3D Volume Mode - Static volume acquisition (also in combination with PD, HD-Flow or
CFM)
Real Time 4D - continuous volume acquisition and parallel calculation of 3D rendered
images
Volume Contrast Imaging - improves the contrast resolution and the signal / noise ratio
and therefore facilitates finding of diffuse lesions in organs
Volume Contrast Imaging Omni View (any plane) - improves the contrast resolution and
the signal / noise ratio and therefore facilitates finding of diffuse lesions in organs.
Volumes can be edited in all other Visualization Modes.
The fetal heart or an artery can be visualized in 4D (also in combination with PD, HD-
Flow or CFM)
