Question Answer
Why 3D echo? With advances in echo, 3D can provide faster, easier, and better diagnostic outcomes
Differences between 2D echo and 3D echo 2D echo - frames/sec 3D echo - volume/sec
How do you acquire images with 3D echo? As data sets (volume/second = 1 frame, full acquisition = 4 frames)
3D advantages with full acquisition Able to acquire and image full 3D image of heart; can cut/slice areas and look inside (crop box); image can be rotated to see all structures; can image trabeculations vs thrombus
3D disadvantages EKG must be decent or will not acquire correctly Artifact - respirations can cover images Poor 2D images = poor 3D image
