A clinician's guide to tissue Doppler imaging.
Principles of TDI Doppler echocardiography relies on detection of the shift in frequency of ultrasound signals reflected from moving objects. With this principle, conventional Doppler techniques assess the velocity of blood flow by measuring high-frequency, low-amplitude signals from small, fast-moving blood cells. In TDI, the same Doppler principles are used to quantify the higheramplitude, lo...
متن کاملImaging as a guide to tissue sampling
When assessing a patient with lung cancer, it is important to stage the tumor in order to determine prognosis and direct appropriate therapy. Although imaging findings, particularly with CT and PET, can suggest the correct tumor stage, imaging is imperfect in this regard; enlarged and/or hypermetabolic lymph nodes may require sampling for confirmation of presumed tumor stage. A major role for i...
متن کاملHyperalimentation: A Guide for Clinicians
autoimmune etiologies of infertility are interesting and provocative. For example, Handwerger summarizes the evidence of humoral and cell-mediated abnormalities in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. That the autoimmune system in diabetics might be abnormal was suggested by the seemingly higher incidence of infections in diabetics (the author points out, however, that whether well-controlled d...
متن کاملTissue Doppler Imaging versus Conventional Echocardiography in Evaluation of Cardiac Functions in Diabetes Mellitus
Background: Conventional echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging have been highlighted to diagnose diastolic and systolic heart dysfunction. We aimed to compare tissue Doppler imaging with conventional echocardiography to diagnose heart dysfunctions in diabetes mellitus type 1 (DMT1) patients. <s...
متن کاملTissue Doppler imaging in cardiac sarcoidosis.
A middle-aged African lady, who presented with ventricular tachycardias, mitral valve regurgitation and congestive heart failure, was diagnosed with cardiac sarcoidosis. Tissue Doppler imaging demonstrated abnormalities suggestive of myocardial scar, which was confirmed by contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance.
