1. A method for operating an ultrasound imaging system, said method comprising: receiving an image data set of a region of interest in a first dimensional representation that comprises at least three dimensions; receiving a selected view perspective of the image data set determined by a viewpoint selector; generating, with a processor, a plurality of planar slices of image data of the image data set, an axis of the planar slices being orthogonal to the selected view perspective; reducing the dimensionality of the image data set to a second dimensional representation; receiving a selected feature of interest selected in the second dimensional representation; generating an image corresponding to the selected feature of interest; and displaying the image corresponding to the selected feature in the first dimensional representation on a display system.
