Live three-dimensional echocardiography (L3DE) is an important breakthrough in the field of medical ultrasound. It will provide a great potential tool for clinical diagnosis and treatment. In this article, the authors first review the bottlenecks in 3D cardiac imaging and the technical principles of L3DE that have been used to overcome some of these problems. We then discuss the scanning methods, clinical usefulness, and the future of L3DE, drawing on our experiences in examining 124 human patients and in conducting animal verification studies with a live 3D ultrasound system.
实时三维超声心动图（L3DE）是医学超声领域的一项重要突破。它将为临床诊断和治疗提供一个极具潜力的工具。在本文中，作者首先回顾了三维心脏成像中的瓶颈以及用于克服其中一些问题的L3DE技术原理。然后，我们借鉴对124例人类患者进行检查以及使用实时三维超声系统进行动物验证研究的经验，讨论了L3DE的扫描方法、临床实用性及未来发展。
