Tissue harmonic imaging for standard left ventricular measurements: fundamentally flawed?
Tissue harmonic imaging (THI) is a B mode imaging technique that improves echocardiographic image quality by reducing superficial artefact. The modality increases image signal-to-noise ratio at the expense of reduced axial resolution. While the qualitative improvements of harmonic echocardiographic imaging are widely accepted, the degree to which this is translated into improved quantitative me...
متن کاملTissue harmonic imaging
Harmonics have much significance in music. A musical note has three characteristics. 1 Pitch (or frequency) 2 Loudness 3 Quality (or tone). Quality is the audible difference heard between two musical notes of the same pitch and loudness. Hence, a piano based C-note does not sound the same as a C-note played on a guitar, due to the existence of harmonic frequencies. The same note from various in...
متن کاملIs the Trusted Computing Base Concept Fundamentally Flawed?
This debate was conceived by Carl Landwehr, who asked me to serve as moderator. The proposition under discussion was first put forward by Bill Wulf in the JavaSoft Forum 1.1 (http://java.sun.com/forum/securityForum.html). Wulf objects to the JavaSoft security model, which aims to protect user files, network connections! and other resources from malicious applets by restricting applets to execut...
متن کاملdoppler tissue imaging: a non-invasive technique for estimation of left ventricular end diastolic pressure in severe mitral regurgitation
background: conventional doppler measurements, including mitral inflow and pulmonary venous flow, are used to estimate left ventricular end diastolic pressure (lvedp). however, these parameters have limitations in predicting lvedp among patients with mitral regurgitation. this study sought to establish whether the correlation between measurements derived from tissue doppler echocardiography and...
متن کاملComparison between fundamental and second-harmonic imaging echocardiography for calculation of left ventricular mass in children.
In adults, calculation of left ventricular mass (LVM) has been shown to give higher values when based on M-mode measurements obtained by the second-harmonic imaging (SHI) technique than with the older fundamental imaging (FI) technique. No information is available in paediatric subjects. This study, therefore, compares LVM calculated from measurements obtained with SHI and FI in 14 children, ag...
