Overview

The Boston 3D Echo Workshop 2026 provides comprehensive, practical education in three-dimensional echocardiography for clinicians involved in cardiac imaging and interventional procedures.

Designed for both trained and in-training professionals, the workshop focuses on developing a strong understanding of the principles, acquisition, optimization, interpretation, and clinical application of 3D echocardiographic imaging.

Participants explore the fundamentals of 3D ultrasound physics, image formation, transducer design, image acquisition, optimization techniques, and multiplanar reconstruction (MPR).

The program also addresses the differences in terminology and workflow across major echocardiography platforms, including Philips, GE, and Siemens.

Clinical applications include detailed 3D assessment of the mitral, tricuspid, and aortic valves, right and left ventricular volumetric assessment, transseptal procedures, structural heart interventions, and measurement of cardiac structures relevant to interventional procedures.

Educational content combines expert lectures, clinical cases, demonstrations, challenging case discussions, and practical imaging instruction.
