Embracing 3D - The Fight with Tradition in Medicine
Guest: Sorin V. Pislaru, M.D., Ph.D.
Host: Paul A. Friedman, M.D. (@drpaulfriedman)
Joining us today to discuss embracing 3D imaging is Sorin V. Pislaru, M.D., Ph.D., professor of medicine, echocardiographer, and chair of the division of structural heart disease at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Tune in to learn more about the 3D imaging and it’s pertinence to the management of patients today in guiding procedures and making diagnoses.
Specific topics discussed:
- We live in a 3D world that is in constant motion. Why are not all our imaging tools 3D?
- One would imagine technological breakthroughs are rapidly incorporated into medical practice. Is that a fact?
- We have now 3D imaging, but most measurements are performed in 2D space in both cross-sectional imaging and in echocardiography. Why so? Another example of resistance to progress? What is the future for 3D imaging?
