Multimodal Echocardiography in Cardiac Tumor Diagnosis: A Decade Review

Review: Multimodal echo (3D, TEE, CEUS, STE) improves cardiac tumor assessment vs 2D, but lacks standardized thresholds, external validation, and prospective evidence. Emerging AI/radiomics hold promise.

• Narrative review of multimodal echocardiography including 3D, TEE, CEUS, STE, AI, and radiomics.
• AI and radiomics may improve quantitative assessment, but no externally validated diagnostic thresholds exist.
• Limitations across studies: nonstandardized imaging parameters, cross-vendor inconsistency, and retrospective single-center designs.
