Echocardiograms are non-invasive (the skin is not pierced) techniques used to evaluate the structure and function of the heart.
Sound waves are sent out by a transducer (a microphone) at a frequency that can’t be heard during the procedure.
Transducers are placed for 2D and 3D echo tests on the chest at various angles and locations, causing sound waves to travel through the skin and other body tissues to the heart tissues, where they bounce off of the heart structures. The sound waves are relayed to a computer that can create a moving image of the walls and valves in the heart. CARE Hospitals specializes in Echocardiogram Test in Hyderabad.
2-D (two-dimensional) echocardiography: By using this technique, the heart structures are actually seen moving. A two-dimensional image of the heart is displayed on the monitor in a cone-shaped image, showing the motion of its structures in real time. Doctors can see and evaluate each of the heart’s structures in action by doing a 2D echo test.
3-D (three-dimensional) echocardiography: A three-dimensional echo provides a more detailed view of heart structures than a two-dimensional echo.
When using a live or “real-time” image of the heart, measurements can be taken with the heart beating in order to provide the most accurate assessment of the heart function. A person who has heart disease can use the 3D echo to determine whether his or her treatment plan is appropriate based on the heart’s anatomy.
