Real-time, three-dimensional echocardiography:  feasibility and initial use.
The purpose of this article is to review new approaches to three-dimensional acquisition and presentation of echocardiographic data.  New three-dimensional phased-array devices hold great promise for the development and application of new descriptors for left ventricular performance, myocardial perfusion, and other important indices of cardiac function.
