Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) is becoming part of everyday clinical practice worldwide. However, 3DE requires adequate electrocardiographic and respiratory gating and it complements instead of replacing bidimensional echocardiography (2D). The instantaneous full-volume echocardiography technique is trying to overcome some of these limitations and to present an effective alternative to 2D echocardiography. In this article we aim to review the contribution of 3DE to our knowledge of anatomic and functional valvular anatomy and the potential advantages of instantaneous full-volume color Doppler echocardiography.
三维超声心动图（3DE）正在成为全球日常临床实践的一部分。然而，3DE需要适当的心电图和呼吸门控，它是对二维超声心动图（2D）的补充而非替代。实时全容积超声心动图技术正试图克服其中一些局限性，并为二维超声心动图提供一种有效的替代方法。在本文中，我们旨在综述3DE对我们了解解剖学和功能性瓣膜解剖学的贡献以及实时全容积彩色多普勒超声心动图的潜在优势。
