The role of cardiac ultrasound virtual simulation technology in the construction of clinical diagnostic reasoning of structural heart diseases
Cardiovascular Imaging 6 min.
Clinical decision-making is a progressive reasoning process that begins with a comprehensive understanding of human anatomy and tissue function, proceeds to the analysis of patient complaints and clinical signs, and is followed by verification through imaging and laboratory tests, ultimately leading...
Micro-CT and histological assessment of renal arterial embolization with Glubran®2 cyanoacrylate: a medium-term follow-up study in a rabbit model
Cardiovascular Imaging 4 min.
Cyanoacrylate glues are widely used for transcatheter arterial embolisation because they polymerize promptly upon contact with body fluids, thereby providing prompt vessel occlusion [1]. This rapid effect is crucial in several indications such as arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and arterial bleeding...
Pediatric three-dimensional quantitative cardiovascular computed tomography
Cardiovascular Imaging 4 min.
Echocardiography is a primary imaging modality for evaluating pediatric cardiovascular diseases. However, it is significantly limited by a narrow acoustic window and operator dependency, leading to low accuracy and clinical utility of 3-dimensional (D) quantitative echocardiography. Cardiac magnetic...
Highly accelerated 4D flow MRI with respiratory compensation and cardiac view sharing: a cross-sectional study of flow in the great vessels of pediatric congenital heart disease
Cardiovascular Imaging 5 min.
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for assessing cardiovascular function and anatomy, particularly in congenital heart disease (CHD) [1]. However, two-dimensional (2D) phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the current standard for blood flow quantification, has limitations...
