Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to a method for providing three dimensional ultrasound images of a volume (50) and an ultrasound imaging system (10). In particular the current invention applies to live three dimensional imaging. To maintain a steady frame rate of the displayed images even if a user changes a region of interest and therewith the size of the volume (50) to be scanned it is contemplated to adjust a density of the scanning lines within the volume (50) as a function of a size of the volume while maintaining a total number of scanning lines across the volume (50).
