3D MPR allows simultaneous viewing and manipulation of intersecting 2D planes.

Mitral TEER demands intuitive anatomic displays and optimal imaging precision.

3D RT-MPR simplifies complex multidevice and unfavorable anatomy cases.

Lower resolution in the 3D-derived 2D planar images is a current limitation.
