Abstract
In a method to generate a three-dimensional ultrasound image of a body region of a patient, spatially varying due to breathing motions, temporally successive B-images are generated with an ultrasonic transducer arrangement in a stationary image plane that, due to the breathing motion, pertain to various slice planes of the body region, and are combined dimensionally correctly with an image processing device into a 3D image.
