Real-time 3D echocardiography overcomes the geometric assumptions of 2D echocardiography, providing more accurate assessment of cardiac chamber size, function, and structural heart diseases.
Cite This Study
Marsan et al. (2009) conducted a review in Cardiac diseases. Real-time three dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) vs. Conventional two dimensional (2D) echocardiography was evaluated. Real-time three dimensional echocardiography overcomes the geometric assumptions of conventional 2D echocardiography, providing accurate assessment of cardiac chamber size, function, and valvular disease.
