Abstract
Echocardiography provides a useful tool in the diagnosis of many congenital heart diseases, including atrial
septal defects, and aids in further delineating treatment options. Although two-dimensional echocardiography
has been the standard of care in this regard, technological advancements have made three-dimensional
echocardiography possible, and the images obtained in this new imaging modality are able to accurately
portray the morphology, location, dimensions, and dynamic changes of defects and many other heart
structures during the cardiac cycle.
