3D-Echocardiography as Teaching and Research Tool
Spatial representation of cardiac structures greatly enhances
the understanding of cardiac function and pathology. Thus,
three-dimensional images could assist in the teaching
of echocardiography where a significant amount of spatial
understanding is required. An example of such an application
is a system which couples 3D-echo with a virtual reality heart
model [16]. The system allows standardized echocardiographic
views to be selected on the virtual heart and displayed
from the 3D-dataset to provide a correlation between
anatomy of the heart and echocardiographic image planes.
