A method of ultrasound imaging, including the following steps:transmitting ultrasonic beams generated by transducers (20) into an object volume (v) such as an object body or a part thereofreceiving (20) and storing (3) signals reflected from said object volumeprocessing the received signals into image data associated to image dots or lines of a video display (8)displaying at least a few image data on the display (8) in accordance with parameters set by a user and related to a predetermined section or projection plane of the image of said object volume.According to the invention, scanning is only performed in the region of the object body which coincides with the section plane or the image projection plane (P) of the object volume along which imaging is to be performed.
