Abstract:
With the advent of live/real time three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography, 3D imaging as a research tool has evolved to a clinical mainstay. In this review, we discuss procedures for and application of 3D echocardiography to specific clinical questions. Although contemporary application remains primarily for assessment of left ventricular function, we review many more uses for this truly revolutionary technique.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
