Three-dimensional echocardiographic technology.
نویسنده
چکیده
This article addresses the current state of the art of technology in three-dimensional echocardiography as it applies to transducer design, beam forming, display, and quantification. Because three-dimensional echocardiography encompasses many technical and clinical areas, this article reviews its strengths and limitations and concludes with an analysis of what to use when.

Effect of position on echocardiographic diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse
Echocardiography has been accepted as the diagnostic modality of choice for mitral valve prolapse (MVP). The determine the effect of position on echocardiographic diagnosis of MVP, we examined 693 consecutive patients referred to the echocardiography laboratory because of suspected MVP. First, patients were examined using the usual standard M-Mode echocardiography( left parasternal third or fou...
متن کاملDynamic 3D echocardiography in virtual reality
BACKGROUND This pilot study was performed to evaluate whether virtual reality is applicable for three-dimensional echocardiography and if three-dimensional echocardiographic 'holograms' have the potential to become a clinically useful tool. METHODS Three-dimensional echocardiographic data sets from 2 normal subjects and from 4 patients with a mitral valve pathological condition were included ...
متن کاملMaking three-dimensional echocardiography more tangible: a workflow for three-dimensional printing with echocardiographic data
Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a rapidly evolving technology with several potential applications in the diagnosis and management of cardiac disease. Recently, 3D printing (i.e. rapid prototyping) derived from 3D transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has become possible. Due to the multiple steps involved and the specific equipment required for each step, it might be difficult to start impl...
متن کاملThree-dimensional printing of intracardiac defects from three-dimensional echocardiographic images: feasibility and relative accuracy.
BACKGROUND With the advent of three-dimensional (3D) printers and high-resolution cardiac imaging, rapid prototype constructions of congenital cardiac defects are now possible. Typically, source images for these models derive from higher resolution, cross-sectional cardiac imaging, such as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography. These imaging methods may involve intravenous c...
متن کاملThree-dimensional transesophageal echocardiographic imaging of mitral valve bioprosthesis leaflets perforation due to infective endocarditis.
Echocardiography, three-dimensional; echocardiography, transesophageal; heart valve prosthesis; endocarditis. Echogardiographic aspects have been added to the criteria used to investigate the diagnosis of infective endocarditis1. However, under some circumstances, the two-dimensional echocardiographic technique, whether transthoracic or transesophageal, fails to provide sufficient diagnostic in...
