Cardiac Studies
Cardiac studies are performed with fundamental imaging or Tissue Harmonic
Imaging to obtain images that can be used for
• Detecting abnormalities in heart anatomy and blood flow
• Determining the blood flow patterns and velocities in the heart and associated
vessels
• Imaging and measuring anatomic parameters of the heart and associated ves-
sels
Table 3-3 lists important information about cardiac studies.
Gynecological Studies
Gynecological studies are performed with fundamental imaging or Tissue Har-
monic Imaging to obtain images that can be used for
• Visualizing female reproductive organs
• Determining blood flow patterns and velocities
• Guiding a biopsy needle
• Detecting structural abnormalities
Table 3-4 lists important information about gynecological studies.
