Harmonic imaging has increased the yield of quantifiable scans in two-dimensional echocardiography. Although real-time three-dimensional echocardiography avoids geometric assumptions in volume analysis, accurate measurement can be limited by image quality. This study compared volumes from a balloon model mimicking the left ventricle, scanned with and without harmonic imaging, using real time three-dimensional echocardiography.
