“…In a recent investigation, 3DE was compared with multi-gated acquisition (MUGA) scanning for the assessment of EF. 8 While MUGA is an established method of serial EF measurement, radiation exposure is a concern with this technique, especially in patients undergoing chemotherapy or presenting symptoms of a weakened immune system. Three investigators, blinded to one another's results, interpreted a 3D echocardiogram immediately following a MUGA scan in 65 patients.…”

The assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction is a key clinical investigation guiding the diagnosis, management and prognosis of cardiology patients. Echocardiography is an inexpensive, safe, and portable method commonly used to provide this information. Improvement in the quality of assessment provided by echocardiography continues to be the subject of current clinical programs and investigations. Contrast-enhanced echocardiography is an established method to reduce both inter- and intra-observer variability in the echocardiography lab. The implementation of teaching interventions has also been shown to reduce variability in the qualitative and quantitative assessment of ejection fraction. Newer investigative methods, such as 3D imaging and speckle tracking, show promise as tools to further enhance the quality of left ventricular ejection fraction assessment in the echocardiography lab.

“…In a recent investigation, 3DE was compared with multi-gated acquisition (MuGA) scanning for the assessment of EF. 8 Currently, the use of contrast enhancement in the assessment of LVEF by 3DE is not supported by published data, which offers an avenue for further investigation.…”
