Three-Dimensional Echocardiographic Deconstruction: Feasibility of Clinical Evaluation from Two-Dimensional Views Derived from a Three-Dimensional Data Set.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) makes it possible to capture the entire heart in a single data set that theoretically could be used to extract any two-dimensional (2D) views and potentially replace the standard practice of serial 2D acquisitions. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the quality of 3DE-derived 2D images is sufficient to allow the visualization of the left ventricular (LV), right ventricular (RV), and left atrial (LA) endocardium, on par with images from conventional two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE), and potentially more accurate quantification of chamber size and function.

Methods

First, the investigators prospectively studied 36 patients who underwent 2DE in 14 standard views, and full-volume data sets from 3DE, fro
