Real-time 3-Dimensional Echocardiographic Imaging of Congenital Heart Disease Using Matrix-array Technology: Freehand Real-time Scanning Adds Instant Morphologic Details Not Well Delineated by Conventional 2-Dimensional Imaging

Matrix-array RT3D is a significant breakthrough technology that allowed instant visualization of cardiac anatomic details that could not be well delineated by 2D imaging. Further improvements of some technical limitations should make RT3D matrix-array cardiac imaging a significant modality in the field of echocardiographic imaging of congenital cardiac anomalies.
