Quantitative three-dimensional echocardiography has been developed at Columbia University in New York and validated both at Columbia and at the Danbury Hospital laboratory. Measurements made using three-dimensional echocardiography have been validated against magnetic resonance imaging, cineventriculography, and gross anatomical specimens. These validation studies have demonstrated that three-dimensional echocardiography is superior to two-dimensional echocardiography for quantitative measurements. Moreover, three-dimensional echocardiography is less expensive than other modalities as well as safe (no radioisotopes), portable, easy to perform, accurate, reproducible and acceptable to patients for repeated application. 2, record 1, English, - three%20dimensional%20echocardiography

La technique échographique permet aujourd'hui la visualisation tridimensionnelle du cœur battant. Les systèmes disponibles font appel à trois approches. L'une, encore expérimentale, est fondée sur la possibilité d'acquérir un volume de données en un seul cycle cardiaque grâce à des technologies nouvelles (sondes matricielles, parallel processing), permettant ensuite la visualisation simultanée de plusieurs coupes bidimensionnelles dont les incidences peuvent varier à volonté. Les deux autres, plus anciennes, sont fondées sur l'utilisation des technologies ultrasoniques bidimensionnelles habituelles, la reconstruction en trois dimensions étant obtenue par traitement informatique différé. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9chocardiographie%20tridimensionnelle
