Two-dimensional echocardiography allows the examiner to obtain multiple cross-sectional views of the heart from several different chest wall transducer positions. This article describes the most commonly used views and aims to indicate the state of standardization of display orientation and nomenclature associated with each of these views. The clinical utility of each view in specific common pathologic conditions is discussed, as well as the relation of left ventricular segments in these echocardiographic views to those in angiographic or scintigraphic images. In addition, the coronary distribution pattern in the echocardiographic views of the left ventricle is described.

Key Words: Echocardiography • two-dimensional echocardiography • sector-scanning
