More Information
Summary:A three-dimensional ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus transmits ultrasonic beams to an object; receives ultrasonic echo signals; stores and generates three-dimensional region volume data in an object OB based on ultrasonic echo signals; detects direction data concerning an orientation of an operator's head part; and generates and displays the two-dimensional display image from volume data in real time based on the detected direction data. This apparatus provides the three-dimensional anatomical information on the field of interest seen from the operator's viewpoint automatically; assists smooth operation; and reduces a burden of an inspector or an operator that is also an inspector during operation upon ultrasonic beams scanning.
