3D Echo Box

Expand your vision of echocardiography

This 3D Echo Box has been designed to help echocardiographers and cardiac surgeons, but also clinical cardiologists, to interpret 3 Dimensional Echocardiography (3DE) images and derive information useful to managing their patients.  In addition, the 3D Echo Box is intended to provide a high-quality review of current status of real-time 3 Dimensional Echocardiography in a way that cannot be achieved by usual books about echocardiography.

Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) enables an easier, accurate and reproducible interpretation of the complex cardiac anatomy, overcoming the intrinsic limitations of conventional echocardiography. The availability of unprecedented views of cardiac structures from any perspective in the beating heart provides valuable clinical information and new levels of confidence in diagnosing heart disease. One major advantage of 3DE is the improvement in the accuracy and reproducibility of chamber volume measurement by eliminating geometric assumptions and errors caused by foreshortened views. Another benefit of 3DE is the realistic en face views of heart valves, enabling a better appreciation of the severity and mechanisms of valve diseases in a unique, noninvasive manner.
