Key result

A multiple element ultrasound system (Multiscan) provided continuous, real-time cross-sectional images of the heart with satisfactory detail in most children and two-thirds of adults.

Why the study?

Does Multiscan echocardiography provide accurate and detailed real-time cross-sectional images of the heart in children and adults?

Population

Children and adults undergoing cardiac evaluation

Multiscan echocardiography (multiple element ultrasound system)
C
Comparator
Angiography (for aortic root dimensions)
O
Outcome
Feasibility of obtaining satisfactory detail of cardiac structures in continuous, real-time motionsurrogate

The development of Multiscan echocardiography represents an early milestone in real-time cross-sectional cardiac imaging, demonstrating feasibility in evaluating congenital and valvular heart disease.

Limitations

  • Ventricular dimensional measurements are not validated as yet.
  • Ventricular dimensional measurements are not validated as yet
  • Satisfactory detail possible in only two-thirds of adults investigated

Cite This Study

Kloster et al. (1973) conducted an observational in Congenital and valvular heart disease. Multiscan Echocardiography vs. Angiography was evaluated on Image detail and accuracy of aortic root dimensions. A multiple element ultrasound system (Multiscan) provided continuous, real-time cross-sectional images of the heart with satisfactory detail in most children and two-thirds of adults.
