12. 3D Visualization Volume rendering, which takes a set of vexels as inputs to generate 3D rendition.
Surface rendering , which takes a set of surfaces as inputs to generate 3D rendition.
13. Pros and Cons for Volume Rendering Pros
can represent tiny and complicated structures.
has better tolerance on noise.
provides more information for deeper layers.
.
Cons
does not promise good depth perception.
are more time-consuming.

22. 4D Ultrasound To see the movement or behavior of internal structures in 3D in real-time.
Started in conventional real-time 2D
Good positioning is required for non-stop 3D rendering by rapidly moving the acoustic array within the transducer housing.
23. Summaries From 2D to 3D.
From structural to functional.
From post-processing to real time processing.
From harmful to safe.
From high cost to low cost.
From analog to digital.
24. Conclusion 3D ultrasound is a handy and low-cost way to help diagnosing
4D ultrasound is opening a new window for motional imaging
Such real-time imaging systems demand huge amount of computing resources
- can be improved with the improvements of new computers
