Live three-dimensional right parasternal and supraclavicular transthoracic echocardiographic examination.
In the present study, we describe the usefulness of the recently developed technique of live three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography in the assessment of normal cardiac structures and adjacent vessels using the right parasternal and supraclavicular approaches. Examples of some abnormalities diagnosed from these approaches are also illustrated.
