A new method of three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction of 2-D ultrasound images of the kidney is described. It is based on a coordinated spatial reconstruction of sequential cross-sectional images. The ultrasound head is moved longitudinally between two rails (parallel sections) and rotated. With a suitable computer program and contouring of each cross-section (so that the organ limits are defined for the computer) these cross-sectional pictures can be reconstructed into 3-D organ images. The kidney can then be presented spatially either as a binary picture or with closed surface. Ultrasound investigators are still unaccustomed to colour reproduction of 3-D reconstructed organs. It remains to be seen whether the method is valuable in routine clinical use.
