Manual left ventricular volume measurements
Tri-plane acquisition
This procedure describes the calculation and reconstruction of
the left ventricular volume from a Tri-plane acquisition. The
Tri-plane acquisition should be a Tri-plane greyscale acquisition,
not a Tri-plane color acquisition.
1. In Tri-plane mode, acquire an Apical 4 chamber view in scan
plane 1 (yellow).
2. Rotate scan plane 2 and 3 to display an Apical 2 chamber
view in scan plane 2 (white) and an Apical long axis view in
scan plane 3 (green).
3. Press Freeze (2D Freeze if on a stored image).
4. Press Measure.
The Measurement menu is displayed.
5. In the Measurement menu select Volume and Tri-plane.
The Measurement screen is displayed with the Ejection
fraction tool selected (see Figure 8-31).
The end diastolic frame of the current cardiac cycle is
displayed and the cursor is moved to the reference scan
plane.
