Learn About The Top Advancements In Echocardiography
Advancements in computing capabilities and transducer technologies over the past few decades have allowed the development of three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE), which offers significant additional information compared to the traditional methods. Although the majority of departmental studies have remained limited to 2D, the introduction of the 3DE as a complementary tool in modern clinical institutions has the potential to increase clinical importance. Although cardiologists have a variety of imaging modalities at their disposal, the use of 3D echocardiography can prove to be the optimum choice for investigating cardiovascular structure and function. The majority of echocardiographic studies are performed to investigate the least ventricular chamber dimensions and LV ejection fraction (LVEF). To calculate volume, geometric modelling of chamber shape must be performed and consequently, LVEF estimation from 2DE is subject to bias and error in the presence of pathology. Adult ...
