Abstract
A system for measuring distances includes a display for displaying a three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound dataset, a user interface for translating a slice plane through the 3D ultrasound dataset to define a first image plane at a first location and a second image plane at a second different location, and a processor for automatically determining a distance between the first and second image planes. A method of measuring distances and a non-transitory computer readable medium are also described herein.
