The heart is a dynamic organ with complexities in its shape. As such, it places special demands on three‐dimensional techniques for reconstruction. Real‐time volumetric echocardiography, which is based on phased array and parallel processing principles to enhance line density within a scan volume, provides rapid image acquisition. We introduce the principle, potential clinical importance, current limitations, and future of volumetric imaging methods.
