Neurocysticercosis. Third edition in our Neuroimaging case study series with guest editors Drs. Michael Leonard and David Weinrib
Echo basics: Mitral Stenosis
Echocardiography basics. Grading and quantifying mitral stenosis (MS) with planimetry, pulsed wave Doppler, PHT and Continuity Equation Method
Echo basics: Mitral Regurgitation
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common pathology detected during echocardiography. Accurate identification and grading rely heavily on colour and spectral Doppler imaging across multiple standard views.
Echo basics: Mitral valve
The mitral valve is a dominant structure in most standard echocardiographic views. Understanding its anatomy in each window is essential for accurate assessment.
Echo basics: Measurements and Reports
Echocardiography and valve measurements. Comprehensive assessment requires measurements to be made from 2D images and the waveforms generated during Doppler investigations

Echo basics: Apical and Subcostal Views
Patient position coupled with probe placement and orientation for optimal apical and subcostal views
Echo basics: Parasternal Views
Patient position coupled with probe placement and orientation for optimal parasternal long-axis (PLAX) and parasternal short-axis (PSAX) views
Echo basics: Tips and Tricks

Echo basics: Machines and Probes
We can do transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) pretty much anywhere. Here are the pros and cons of 3 types of machines, how to identify the different types of probes, and what each type of probe is used for.
