The primary role of the cardiovascular system is to pump blood throughout the body to provide oxygen and essential life-sustaining nutrients to all organ systems while also removing waste products and toxins from the body. At the center of this system is the heart whose anatomy and physiology ...
In spite of its appealing capability to distinguish bones from soft tissues, CT images show only small contrast differences in the anatomy of the heart and require the use of X-ray contrast to adequately delineate the cardiac chambers. Moreover, interventional CT exposes both the patient and ...
Sonographic anatomy of 9 week old fetus These ultrasound images show a normal early fetus of 9 weeks gestational age (1st trimester) and are taken via the transabdominal route. Among the structures seen are the fetus with the bulkier head (cephalic part) and the fetal heart on Color Doppler ...

HeartWorks is recognized globally as the leading education system in cardiac anatomy, echocardiography simulation & lung ultrasound.
We (i) describe options to improve CUS image quality, including the use of supplemental acoustic windows; (ii) show illustrations of the normal ultrasound anatomy of the posterior fossa; (iii) describe the ultrasound characteristics of acquired posterior fossa lesions in the newborn; (iv) discuss...
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of examining the fetal heart with Tomographic Ultrasound Imaging (TUI) using four-dimensional (4D) volume datasets acquired with spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC). Material a
In addition, earlier recognition of the normal anatomy of the fetus aids in decreasing patient anxiety. This study also confirmed previous findings that combined intracranial signs such as obliterated CM, a BS/BSOB ratio greater than 1, and the presence of „crash” signs are very effective in...
However, an ultrasound of the heart is usually not helpful in determining the etiology of IE or myocarditis. In human medicine, myocarditis is divided into two clinical forms: fulminant and acute. Patients with fulminant myocarditis have a nondilated, thickened and hypocontractile left ventricle (...
and growth. During the 20-week ultrasound, the medical technician does a thorough exam of your fetus's anatomy — counting and inspecting limbs; measuring head and bone size; and looking at facial features, internal organs, and structures such as the brain, heart, kidneys, bladder, and spine...
