Abstract
Real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (RT 3D TEE) appeared in the clinical arena a few years ago and was welcomed by cardiologists involved in echocardiography as one of the major advances in the twenty-first century. RT 3D TEE is now a well-established technique, able to provide anatomic details of the internal structure of the heart in a living patient. The purpose of this chapter is to describe some basic technical aspects and, more importantly, tell how to acquire 3D images.
