Linear measurements of the heart structures and big vessels

Echocardiography Textbook

 

2D echocardiography enables real-time visualization of heart structures, performing different measurements and calculations.

Measurement standards are recommended by the American Society of Echocardiography.

Various factors can distort the accuracy of measurements and calculations.

Image Quality depends on the ultrasonic instrument and transducer frequency. The optimal image is obtained when using the highest frequency that provides the desired penetration.

For accurate measurements, it is important to obtain a clear image of the endocardium.
