title: [Real-time cross-sectional echocardiography using a mechanical sector scanner (author's transl)].
abstract: Ultrasonic one-dimensional echocardiography have proven extremely useful these last years in cardiac diagnosis. However, it allows only, structures lying along a narrow ultrasonic beam, to be visualized. In order to state more precisely the spatial relationship of the various cardiac structures, some two-dimensional systems, which displays the heart by constructing a plane image composed of many straight lines have been perfected. The authors, using such a system, specify its principal technical and clinical aspects and comment from iconographics documents and from their experience with more than 100 explorations, its advantages.
