Thorough Evaluation of Left Ventricular Wall Motion Using Echocardiography: Importance of Storing Real-Time Image Clips

Which of the following exams would require the storage of a 2-3second digital clip of the real time image?A: PW Doppler evaluation of venous refluxB: Color Doppler evaluation of renal perfusionC evaluation of the wall motion of the left ventricleD: documentation of needle placement in a thyroid biopsy

C

The answer is C: evaluation of the wall motion of the left ventricle.

The reason for storing a 2-3 second digital clip of the real-time image is to allow for a thorough evaluation of the wall motion of the left ventricle. This type of evaluation is typically done using echocardiography, a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to create images of the heart.

By storing a digital clip of the real-time image, the clinician can review the images multiple times and in slow motion if necessary to ensure an accurate evaluation of the heart’s function. This can be particularly important in diagnosing conditions such as heart failure or coronary artery disease.

In contrast, PW Doppler evaluation of venous reflux, Color Doppler evaluation of renal perfusion, and documentation of needle placement in a thyroid biopsy do not typically require the storage of digital clips for evaluation purposes.
