Abstract:
Echocardiographic measurement of left ventricular systolic and diastolic volume and ejection fraction in pediatric patients by acoustic quantification using automated border methods compares well with measurements done by manual trace. The time necessary for completion of measurements was similar for the two methods.

01:17Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System I:Echocardiography
Cardiac imaging studies encompass a wide range of noninvasive and minimally invasive techniques designed to visualize the heart's structure and function in detail. One such technique is echocardiography, which uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to produce detailed images of the heart, known as echocardiograms.
Indications: Echocardiography is utilized to diagnose heart failure, valve disorders, and myocardial infarction. It also assesses cardiac structures' size, shape, and motion, evaluates...

01:20Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System II:Types of Echocardiography
Echocardiography plays a role in assessing cardiac health and detecting heart conditions, with various types providing critical insights for diagnosis and treatment.
Types of Echocardiography
Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
