As faster imaging systems enter the market, three-dimensional echocardiography is gearing up to become a useful tool in assisting the clinician to image the heart in many innovative projections. What started out as a novel idea of displaying a three-dimensional anatomic picture of the heart now provides a multitude of views of the heart and its structures. Information gained from anatomic and dynamic data has helped clinicians and surgeons in making clinical decisions. In the future, this imaging modality may become a routine imaging modality for assessing cardiac pathology and may serve to increase understanding of the dynamics of the heart.
