In this example real-time 3D echocardiography (RT3DE) is used to record moving
structures of the left ventricle during a cardiac cycle. The 3D echocardiography left
ventricle volume of a 30 year-old female volunteer was acquired using a Vivid E9
scanner using a 3V matrix probe with a centre frequency 2.4 MHz (GE Healthcare
