Abstract:
Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) is the only on-line 3D method based on real-time volumetric scanning, as compared with other 3D imaging techniques such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, which are based on post-acquisition reconstruction and not on volumetric scanning. In recent years, several studies have revealed possible advantages of 3DE in daily clinical practice. The aim of this manuscript is to give a brief review of the development of the clinical applications of RT3DE.

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...
