公开了一种用于检查对象(12)的体积的超声成像装置(10)。所述超声成像装置包括超声探头(14)，所述超声探头包括多个超声换能器元件，所述多个超声换能器元件用于采集视场(32)中的三维超声数据，并且用于提供所述视场中的三维和二维超声图像数据。图像处理单元(18)耦合到所述超声探头，以用于接收图像平面(42、44)内的二维超声图像数据并且用于确定所述二维超声图像数据中的解剖特征(30)。评价单元(20)被提供用于评价所述二维超声图像数据并且用于基于所述解剖特征相对于所述图像平面的位置关系来确定质量参数，并且对准单元(28)被提供用于基于所述位置关系和所述质量参数来对准所述图像平面或者指示所述图像平面的对准。 An ultrasound imaging apparatus (10) for inspecting a volume of a subject (12) is disclosed. The ultrasound imaging apparatus comprises an ultrasound probe (14) including a plurality of ultrasound transducer elements for acquiring three-dimensional ultrasound data in a field of view (32), and for providing three-dimensional and two-dimensional ultrasound image data in the field of view. An image processing unit (18) is coupled to the ultrasound probe for receiving the two-dimensional ultrasound image data in an image plane (42, 44) and for determining an anatomical feature (30) in the two-dimensional ultrasound image data. An evaluation unit (20) is provided for evaluating the two-dimensional ultrasound imag
