May support RT3DE when 2DE is inconclusive for masses; hypothesis-generating pending prospective validation.
Does real time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) improve the evaluation of intracardiac masses compared to two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE)?
Real time three-dimensional echocardiography provides incremental diagnostic value over traditional two-dimensional echocardiography for the detailed assessment of intracardiac masses.
Zaragosa‐Macias et al. (2012) studied this question.
