Three-dimensional echocardiography

A three-dimensional (3-D) echocardiogram uses either transesophageal or transthoracic echocardiography to create a 3-D image of your heart. This involves multiple images from different angles. It’s used before heart valve surgery and to diagnose heart problems in children.

What is 3D Echo used for?
3D echocardiography is able to provide intuitive recognition of cardiac structures from any spatial point of view and may provide complete information about absolute heart chamber volumes and functions.
