This software was developed by General Electric for their propriety device called Healthcare Voluson, which is a machine integrated with ultrasound device functionalities. A .4dv file is also referred to as an ultrasound data file, and these files can be created and its content can be viewed with the use of the 4D View application. The ViewPoint software can also be used to open and view the content of these 4DV files, provided that the plug-in developed for 4D View support is installed. These applications are used by doctors and medical technicians to study the ultrasound data gathered using the General Electric Healthcare Voluson ultrasound device. These applications also reference the content of these 4DV ultrasound data files when users calibrate the settings of this ultrasound machine via these applications. These programs can be installed in Microsoft Windows-based platforms.

Be careful not to rename the extension on .4dv files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.
what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .4dv. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
