Why the study?
Does three-dimensional echocardiography improve diagnostic power compared to two-dimensional echocardiography in patients with intracardiac masses?
Does three-dimensional echocardiography improve diagnostic power compared to two-dimensional echocardiography in patients with intracardiac masses?
Three-dimensional echocardiography can enhance diagnostic confidence and spatial understanding of intracardiac masses compared to 2D imaging alone.

Hypothesis-generating for added diagnostic value of 3D over 2D echocardiography in intracardiac masses; prospective studies needed before clinical adoption.
We describe two cases in which three-dimensional echocardiography provided unique anatomical data. This information enhanced the diagnostic power of two-dimensional echocardiography by improving confidence in interpretation and by providing distinctive spatial insights.
