Quantified measures of a volumetric object in the body can be made ultrasonically by acquiring concurrent biplane images of two different image planes ( 210, 214 ) of the object. Corresponding borders of the volumetric object are traced using automatic border detection. The border tracings are used in their planar spatial relationship to compute a graphical model ( 220 ) of the volumetric object. The volume of the graphical model ( 220 ) may be computed by the rule of disks, and a graphical or numerical display of the changing volume with time displayed. A user interface comprises both real time biplane images, the real time graphical model ( 220 ), and the quantified measures.
