1. A method for measuring dimensions in volumetric ultrasound data, said system comprising: positioning, in real-time, a slice plane through the volumetric ultrasound dataset at a first location; repositioning the slice plane to a different second location; continually measuring a distance between the slice plane and the first location as the slice plane is being translated through the volumetric ultrasound data from the first location to the second location; and displaying the measured distance, wherein the measured distance updates as the slice plane is translated.
