Left Atrium

Three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography has the potential to overcome two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography. It has the ability to assess left atrial volume and function more accurately than does 2D imaging. By freely navigating in a volume dataset and giving an en face view of any volume-rendered reconstruction, 3D echocardiography offers the true inside and outside vision of the heart in a similar way to a surgical view. Online reconstruction is one of the most fascinating capabilities helping surgeons and interventional cardiologists to deliver the best therapy in a safer environment.
