Initial experience with a new on-line transthoracic three-dimensional technique : assessment of feasibility and of diagnostic potential / M. Pepi, G. Tamborini, G. Pontone, D. Andreini, G. Berna, S.

Abstract:
Despite its wide diagnostic potential, three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography is a quite rarely employed technique. The ideal method to obtain transthoracic 3D imaging is on-line 3D echocardiography, but first-generation real-time instruments had technical limitations. A new on-line 3D technology which allows true real-time volume rendering of the cardiac anatomy has been recently introduced and its feasibility and diagnostic advantages have been evaluated in the clinical setting.
