title: Live real-time three-dimensional echocardiography for the visualization of myocardial perfusion--a pilot study in open-chest pigs.
abstract: Visualization of myocardial perfusion is possible in both 2-dimensional and from reconstructive 3-dimensional echocardiography. We present the findings of our experimental pilot study of myocardial perfusion detection using live real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography in an animal model.
