The Clinical Benefits of Adding a Third Dimension to Assess the Left Ventricle with Echocardiography
Figure 7
From the same pyramidal three-dimensional data set, the left ventricle can be visualized using different display modalities: volume rendering, for visualizing morphology and spatial relationships among adjacent structures; surface rendering, for quantitative purposes; and multislice (multiple two-dimensional tomographic views extracted automatically from a single 3D data set) for morphological and functional analysis at different regional levels.
