Circulation 1993, 88:1715-1723. The authors validated left ventricular volume and function quantitation by three-dimensional echocardiography with an excellent correlation in a canine model and proved the feasibility of this method in humans.

Circulation 1989, 80:589-598. Three-dimensional echocardiography allows the clinician to address a uniquely three-dimensional problem with high resolution and provide new information previously unavailable from the two-dimensional images.

Echocardiography 1994, 11:635-645. Three-dimensional transesophageal images provided better visual clues for the identification of morphological abnormalities than did serial two-dimensional echocardiographic images despite the same input information in both image formats, when compared using receiver operating characteristic analysis.

Three-dimensional echocardiography applied in complex congenital heart disease and leading to more accurate diagnosis of complex cardiac abnormalities and generation of planes of view which could duplicate surgical visualization of a lesion.

J Am Coll Cardiol 1995, 25:482-490. Dynamic three-dimensional imaging could be applied to the specific evaluation of atrial septal defects. Unique views of the heart allowed for spatial comprehension of the defects, rendering potentially important clinical information.

Am J Cardiol 1994, 73:501-507. Three-dimensional representations of cardiac anatomy can be superior to standard intraoperative visualization in that they demonstrate the heart as a dynamic structure, as opposed to an empty, non-beating heart during cardiopulmonary bypass.
