An ultrasound system has an ultrasound probe, a processing unit, and a display. The ultrasound probe includes a sensor configured to detect the position and orientation of the ultrasound probe and an ultrasound scanner configured to generate a plurality of ultrasound images. The processing unit is in communication with the sensor and the ultrasound scanner and configured to create a three-dimensional model from the position and orientation of the ultrasound probe when each of the plurality of ultrasound images is generated. The display in communication with the processing unit and configured to output a view of a first layer of the three-dimensional model and configured to output a view of a second layer of the three-dimensional model in response to an intraoperative swipe across the display by a user.
