Extract text from GE ultrasound archives (4DV)
To convert 4DV archives to another format, you need GE Healthcare 4D View or other Compressed software.
To convert other file formats to the "4D Ultrasound Image Archive" file type, you need software like GE Healthcare 4D View or a similar tool.
A .4dv file is a proprietary 4D ultrasound image archive used primarily by GE Healthcare's 4D View software. Clinics and hospitals use these files to store and share volumetric 3D and 4D ultrasound scans, most commonly provided to expecting parents on a USB drive.
The major disadvantage of the .4dv format is its proprietary nature. It requires specialized, expensive medical software to open natively, and the files frequently exceed 100MB in size. Because standard web browsers and built-in operating system image viewers do not support .4dv, patients are often left unable to view their own medical scans at home.
For easier sharing with family, the best target formats for conversion are standard video files like MP4 or image sequences like JPG. However, because this is a closed, proprietary format, standard online converters usually fail to process the raw volumetric data into video. Fortunately, the internal structure of most .4dv files relies on standard ZIP compression. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible on convert.guru. If our analysis detects the supported underlying ZIP format, extraction of the raw medical data or underlying images may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your 4DV file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our 4DV converter.
