9 3D Flashcards
Why do we do 3D
Nose/lips (clefting) NTD hand/feet/ankles Heart - 4CH only view needed, VSD? Gynecology-EV in endo Mullerian duct abnormalities Endometrium IUDS
4 Different methods. Method 1 is?
Free hand 2D (curvilinear)
We manually do the sweep.
No measurements but no extra equip required.
Method 2
Used separate transmitter. attached to outside of 2D creates electromagnetic field
Method 3
Mechanical 3D/4D transducers
used motor, steered electronically, sweeps in fanlinke motion.
Bulky and heavy
Method 4
3D/4D matrix transducers
cardiac applications and more crystals
ROI means
Region of interest. (can adjust)
MPR means?
Multiplanar Reconstruction
Pixels are?
smallest unit of 2D image
Voxel is?
the smallest unit of a 3D volume set
X =
Y=
Z=
Width of sweep
Height
Volume of the slice you’re taking (distance transducer covers in a sweep)
For fetal heart you want a ___ volume angle
small
For a Uterus ___volume angle
large
Acquisition speed -Slow means?
More slices
Better quality volume
Higher resolution
Acquisition speed -Fast means?
Active fetus
Eliminates fetal motion
Poor image on 2D means?
POOR 3D
Factors affecting image quality
Maternal size
Decreased amniotic fluid
Fetal postion
3D multiplaner reconstrction 3 planes and forms volume.
explain X, Y , Z?
A/X, = Sagittal B/Y = transverse C/Z= Coronal
Which planes determine ROI?
A/X, = Sagittal B/Y = transverse
