“…The transducer had a frequency range of 2–4 MHz. A full volume dataset that covers the whole heart or at least the major region of interest is constructed from four ECG triggered subvolumes 8. Most often, the subcostal position was used for newborns and infants, the apical position for older patients.…”

“…Previous studies have shown the benefit of our simulator in spatial understanding and hand–eye coordination during echocardiography 7. The development of RT 3D echocardiography resulted in a dramatic improvement of image quality 8. The purpose of this study was to examine, if expert sonographers could identify congenital heart lesions correctly using the simulator and perform better than less experienced sonographers, proving construct validity.…”

The advent of three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) has significantly improved the impact of non-invasive imaging on our understanding and management of cardiac diseases in clinical practice. Transthoracic 3DE enables an easier, more 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 the third dimension 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. The purpose of this review is to provide readers with an update on the current clinical applications of transthoracic 3DE, emphasizing the incremental benefits of 3DE over conventional two-dimensional echocardiography.

“…Despite the time-consuming and somewhat laborious process, and the limited image quality, investigators found that the type, location, size, spatial relationships, dimensions, and dynamic changes could all be accurately demonstrated as compared to 2D echo and intraoperative inspection. The real-time transthoracic 3D echo of VSD era began in 2004 [20] with the initial report of images acquired with 3D fullvolume and live 3D modes, followed by subsequent reports from 2006 and 2007 [21][22][23][24][25][26]. These studies included children and adults, as well as 3D full-volume mode in all and live 3D mode in some of the reports.…”

Within this report we present a state of the art assessment of the status of 3D echocardiographic imaging (3D echo) of atrial septal defect (ASD) and ventricular septal defect (VSD). After a brief literature review of past studies, we delve into more recent developments in greater detail. For ASD we focus on new developments and reports regarding real-time transesophageal echocardiography. For VSD there have been no recent reports in the last 2 years dealing with new advances in 3D echo of VSD by either transthoracic or transesophageal approaches. Therefore, we present our experience in 3D echo of VSD by both methods. The literature is far from replete on this subject; therefore, a significant portion of this report is based on the authors' personal experience using 3D echo in over 200 cases with ASD, VSD, or both lesions in children and adults. A collection of representative reference 3D echoes of ASD and VSD are presented to serve as a review of the anatomic variations which the echocardiographer and sonographer are likely to encounter.
