1. A method for stabilizing imaging within a volume in medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging, the method comprising: (a) repetitively scanning a two-dimensional area with a multi-dimensional transducer array; (b) repetitively detecting motion within a volume including the two-dimensional area; (c) adaptively re-positioning the two-dimensional area within the volume as a function of the detected motion such that the two-dimensional area is maintained at a location in the volume despite the motion; and imaging the two-dimensional area as a function of the scanning, the imaging being of the same location in the volume despite the motion due to the adaptively re-positioning of the two-dimensional area.
