Real-time 3D echocardiography is one of the most important developments in the field of non-invasive cardiac imaging within the last years. To investigate whether this new technology can be considered as a standard method the current guidelines and recommendations were reviewed. In the field of left ventricular function assessment, evaluation of mitral valve pathologies and peri-interventional monitoring of percutaneous valve repair procedures 3D echocardiography plays a major role. For other clinical applications, such as right heart assessment, congenital heart disease and stress echocardiography, a high potential is seen but evidence is currently too weak for general recommendations. However, in the near future no echo laboratory will be working without 3D modalities.
实时三维超声心动图是近年来无创心脏成像领域最重要的进展之一。为了研究这项新技术是否可被视为一种标准方法，我们对当前的指南和建议进行了回顾。在左心室功能评估、二尖瓣病变评估以及经皮瓣膜修复手术的围手术期监测领域，三维超声心动图发挥着重要作用。对于其他临床应用，如右心评估、先天性心脏病和负荷超声心动图，虽然前景广阔，但目前证据不足，无法给出通用建议。然而，在不久的将来，没有三维模式的超声实验室将无法开展工作。
