Book excerpt: The study of intracardiac blood flow in patients with heart disease has always been a challenging task for the modern cardiologist. The advent of color Doppler substantially enhances the clinical diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. Three-Dimensional Color Doppler discloses the enormous diagnostic potential of the color Doppler flow imaging technique, and provides the cardiologist with a powerful new tool for studying and assessing cardiac flow disturbances. Three-dimensional Doppler enhances the diagnostic value of color Doppler by providing unique information about the actual extension, direction, origin, and size of intracardiac flow. In addition, new blood flow patterns, not previously described, can be observed and studied. This atlas represents an indispensable learning and teaching tool, not only for the echocardiologist, but also for the clinical cardiologist and for everyone involved in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with heart disease.
