9.1.5 Orientationhelp for 3D/4D data sets (Probe Orientation)
9-10
In order to simplify orientation in a 3D or 4D data set the user can activate the display of
directions like cranial, caudal, left, right, anterior, posterior at the border of the 3D or 4D data
set. The user has to select the position and the rotation of the probe in respect to the patient
(or in obstetrics in respect to the fetus) at the time of acquisition. Then the actual display of the
directions has to be activated manually. When the volume is rotated the orientations at the
border of the image are automatically adjusted accordingly. The display remains active until a
new acquisition is performed or until it is turned off by the user. If the display is activated and
the data set is saved, the probe orientation settings are stored in the data set. If the display is
turned off however, probe orientation settings are not stored.

It is absolutely necessary to ensure that the Probe position exactly corresponds to Probe
orientation adjustment.
Special accuracy is required if the selected acquisition Mode is 4D. Moving the probe can
cause variations with probe orientation adjustment.
Select the [More...] key at the bottom left corner of the menu area.
The "3D/4D Sub Menu" appears.
