How 3D-Mode works
3D-Mode acquires a series of 2-dimensional “slices” and assembles them into a
3D data set. The 3D data set can then be visualized and manipulated. Targets (for
example, tumor growth) can be segmented and volumetric measurements made.
3D imaging can be used in B-Mode, Power Doppler Mode and Contrast Mode
imaging procedures.
3D-Mode hardware setup
The transducer is mounted on a Vevo Imaging Station equipped with a 3D motor
stage.
The transducer connects to a clamp connected to the bottom of the 3D motor
stage. The 3D motor stage connects to the mount on the Vevo Imaging Station.

Based on operator-defined parameters, the 3D motor stage travels a set distance
across the target object in a series of minute steps. The 3D motor stage, with the
