What is Ultrafast Ultrasound Imaging?

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Ultrasound techniques currently used in echocardiography uses frame rates from 30-150 frames/s. This limits its temporal resolution for very short lived events, especially in pediatric and congenital heart disease with faster heart rates compared to adults [1]. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2024 Jan 2;83(1):63-81.

Basics of Echocardiography

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

During echocardiography, a transducer transmits the ultrasound beam towards the heart. Echoes received by the transducer from various structures of the heart are analysed by the echocardiograph and a graphical representation displayed on the monitor. This view images the heart from the base to apex long axis view.
