Emergency department-based 3D echocardiogram use: a case series

Abstract Background Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) with real-time volumetric imaging can be a vital modality in clinical practice. Despite its potential, it remains underutilized in the acute care setting. Case presentation We present two cases describing the use of 3DE in the emergency de...
