Why the study?
Does vendor-independent analysis mitigate variability in 3D echocardiography-derived regional strain values compared to vendor-specific packages?
Does vendor-independent analysis mitigate variability in 3D echocardiography-derived regional strain values compared to vendor-specific packages?
Vendor-independent software mitigates variability in 3D echocardiography strain measurements across different ultrasound systems, enabling meaningful comparisons.
May enable consistent 3D strain comparisons across vendors; hypothesis-generating for clinical adoption.
Circumferential and longitudinal regional strain values differ when quantified by vendor-specific analysis packages; however, this variability is mitigated by use of a vendor-independent quantification method. These results suggest that echocardiograms acquired using different ultrasound systems could be meaningfully compared using vendor-independent software.
