Feasibility shown in limited case series; leaves open broader clinical adoption pending prospective validation.
Is transthoracic real-time three-dimensional echocardiography using a fan-like scanning approach feasible for visualizing intracardiac structures?
Transthoracic three-dimensional echocardiography using a fan-like scanning mode is feasible and provides adequate visualization of intracardiac structures in unique projections.
Delabays et al. (1995) studied this question.
