Abstract
Real-time three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography is a major innovation in the history of cardiovascular ultrasound. Advances in computer and transducer technologies, especially the fully-sampled matrix array transducer, have permitted real-time 3D image acquisition and display. Several vendors provide 3D imaging but use different terminology for similar functions, creating confusion for consumers. This article provides a practical guide on how to acquire and analyze 3D images on-cart using currently available ultrasound systems (iE33, Philips Medical System, Andover, MA; Vivid7, GE Healthcare, Wauwatosa, WI) in daily clinical practice.
