## Abstract The echocardiographic diagnosis of a left atrial myxoma is described. This was later confirmed by cardiac catheterization and the tumor removed at operation. The myxoma was found to arise from the free left atrial wall and no such case diagnosed by echocardiography has previously been r

## Abstract ## Purpose Realβtime 3βdimensional transthoracic echocardiography (RTβ3DβTE) with realβtime volume rendering (RTVR) offers multiple simultaneous views and spatial definition of intracardiac structures superior to that attainable by 2βdimensional transthoracic echocardiography (2DβTE).
With the advent of improved imaging techniques using two-dimensional (2-D) echocardiography, both normal and abnormal systemic and pulmonary venous courses can be delineated. In the usual case, the left brachiocephalic vein runs in front of the three arterial branches originating from the aortic arc
