A system for reconstructing three dimensional (3-D) images from ultrasonography using a linearly moving mirror was modified. The device could display the 3-D structure of objects in real time by employing an on-line system. In a case of hepatocellular carcinoma, structures of the tumor and blood vessels were selectively visualized. One 3-D image was generated within five minutes. This modified system will be of use in the analysis of liver tumors.
