Summary:The present invention relates to a method for providing three-dimensional ultrasound images of a volume (50) and an ultrasound imaging system (10). In particular, the current invention applies to live three-dimensional imaging. To maintain a steady frame rate of the displayed images even if a user changes a region of interest and, therewith, the size of the volume (50) to be scanned, it is contemplated to adjust a density of the scanning lines within the volume (50) as a function of a size of the volume while maintaining a total number of scanning lines across the volume (50).
