1. What is the key technical difference between 3D and 2D ultrasound data acquisition?
3D uses a higher frequency transducer 3D uses a mechanically swept transducer to capture a volumetric dataset 3D requires an external probe 3D only captures static still images
2. How is 4D ultrasound best defined?
A 3D volume captured with enhanced color Doppler Continuous, real-time 3D scanning, simultaneous display of A, B, & C planes A 3D volume acquired over a single cardiac cycle High-resolution B-mode imaging at increased frame rate
3. In 3D/4D ultrasound, what is a voxel?
A 2D picture element equivalent to a pixel The smallest unit of a 2D image grid The volumetric equivalent of a pixel — the smallest unit of a 3D dataset A rendering artifact seen in surface mode
4. What is the single most important prerequisite for a high-quality 3D/4D reconstruction?
A large volume box size High 4D frame rate Optimal 2D image quality before activating 3D/4D mode Use of inversion mode
5. Which rendering mode is most appropriate for evaluating external fetal surface anatomy such as the face or body wall?
Maximum transparent mode Minimum mode Surface rendering mode B-flow mode
6. In transparent rendering, Maximum mode displays which type of tissue preferentially?
Fluid-filled structures (lowest echogenicity) Soft tissue interfaces Structures with the highest gray values — bony and highly echogenic structures Vascular structures using Doppler overlay
7. What is the primary function of STIC (Spatiotemporal Image Correlation)?
Volume calculation of irregularly shaped structures Generating parallel multi-slice views from a stored volume Creating time-synchronized 3D cardiac sequence of a complete fetal cardiac cycle Inverting grayscale to visualize fluid-filled chambers
8. What structural transformation does Inversion mode apply to the 3D dataset?
It enhances bony echogenicity while suppressing soft tissue It converts anechoic (fluid-filled) regions into solid-appearing voxels It applies a color Doppler overlay to grayscale volumes It removes motion artifacts from 4D datasets
9. How does VCI (Volume Contrast Imaging / Omni-View) improve image quality compared to standard 2D?
By increasing the Doppler velocity scale By averaging signals from a selected thick tissue slab (3–20 mm) By applying electronic filtering to remove speckle noise By increasing the transducer frequency automatically
10. TUI (Tomographic Ultrasound Imaging) is most analogous to which imaging modality in its display format?
X-ray fluoroscopy Doppler waveform analysis CT or MRI multi-slice display — sequential parallel 2D slices from a 3D volume M-mode echocardiography
