Comparative Study
Comparison of transthoracic three dimensional echocardiography with magnetic resonance imaging in the assessment of right ventricular volume and mass.
Assessment of right ventricular volume and mass with three dimensional echocardiography and comparison with magnetic resonance imaging. ⋯ With transthoracic three dimensional echocardiography, end diastolic right ventricular volumes can be assessed with acceptable accuracy in normal hearts and those with enlarged right ventricles, whereas the current method of three dimensional echocardiography is less good for end systolic volumes and not satisfactory for right ventricular mass measurements.
