Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the value of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography(RT3DE) in cardiac space-occupying lesions. Methods: Twenty-eight patients with cardiac space-occupying lesions, determined by surgical operation and pathology, undertook two-dimensional echocardiography(2DE) and RT3DE. The three-dimensional images were divided into grade I, II and III according to the imaging qualities. Results: The three-dimensional images were assess as grade I in 93%(26/28), grade II in 7%(2/28) and no grade III images. The location, morphology and relation with neighboring structures of cardiac space-occupying lesions could be displayed more intuitively by RT3DE. Conclusion: Compared with 2DE, RT3DE may provide more abundant morphologic information of cardiac space-occupying lesions and is of great benefit to its treatment planning.
