Real-time 3-D Echocardiography

Real-time 3-D echocardiography provides critical views of the beating heart as it actually appears. Live, full-volume images are rendered instantly, for a more accurate, close-up assessment of both complex anatomical structures and valvular function.

Real-time 3-D echocardiography can help speed the diagnosis of certain problems. Precise "surgical" views of the heart offer advantages for both pre-surgical planning and post-surgical monitoring. With 3-D echo, spatial relationships are more easily discerned, and size, shape and volume can be more accurately quantified.

The benefits of live, 3-D echocardiography include:

Clearer orientation of anatomical structures.
Improved measurement of heart function.
Instant, full-volume rendered images.
Non-invasive procedure.
No radiation exposure.
