Comparing "VPT/KBR software" with "Contrast Echo"University Of Alberta
Determination of LV volume and ejection fraction with a novel 3D knowledge based reconstruction technique in comparison with contrast echocardiography measurements : https://1stdirectory.co.uk/_assets/files_comp/a39bb5b5-ce52-4a81-9423-5e41be7c54f5.pdf "Knowledge based reconstruction (KBR) softwareVentripoint system, is a new technique that allows for three dimensional assessment of LV volumes and EF without the need for an intravenous or ultrasonographic enhancing agents thereby reducing risk to the patient and echo lab spending. Our aim was to assess reliability of the Ventripoint system KBR software in assessing LV measurements in comparison to Contrast Echocardiography."
Google / Contrast Echocardiographic: "This is an imaging test that uses sound waves (ultrasound) to take pictures of the heart while it is beating. During the test, a special dye (contrast agent) is injected into your vein to help show structures in the heart better. It allows the inside of the heart to be seen more clearly on the ultrasound pictures."
I call this a big plus for VPT!
