Abstract
In ultrasonic volume imaging, the effect of rotating the transducer ab out the central axis of the imaging plane is equivalent to rotation of the insonified volume. The authors present schematics to depict the a ction and sonograms in two cases (a hand immersed in water and a 36-we ek fetus) to demonstrate this phenomenon. This maneuver can be used to ''rotate'' the imaged structures, which enhances their three-dimensio nal representation.
