A wide angle (60 degrees) sector scanner minimizes chest contact and rib/lung interference, providing high line density real-time two-dimensional echocardiograms suitable for patients of all ages.
Observational
A wide angle (60 degrees) sector scanner producing a real-time two-dimensional echocardiogram has been used to examine healthy infants, children, and adults. Its method of use is described and findings from longitudinal and transverse scans are presented. The points of difference between the various types of electronic and mechanical two-dimensional scanning systems are discussed. This equipment minimises problems of chest contact and rib and lung interference and, by providing echocardiograms of high line density from a wide angle, is a suitable real-time two-dimensional scanning system for examining patients of all ages.
Houston et al. (Sat,) conducted a observational in Healthy individuals. Wide angle (60 degrees) sector scanner was evaluated. A wide angle (60 degrees) sector scanner minimizes chest contact and rib/lung interference, providing high line density real-time two-dimensional echocardiograms suitable for patients of all ages.
