Encourages selective adoption of 3D echocardiography; leaves open prospective trials confirming outcome benefits over 2D.
Background Echocardiography has evolved into the most predominant diagnostic imaging technique in cardiology. Over the last five decades the diagnostic capability of echocardiography has increased dramatically from M-mode to two-dimensional (2-D) imaging. Recent advances in ultrasound instrumentation and computer technology have led to three-dimensional (3-D) echocardiography, introducing a new era in cardiovascular imaging.1
