Non-Invasive Imaging Laboratory

The Non-invasive Imaging Laboratory is involved in multiple protocols focused on the evaluation of ventricular function in children with heart disease by echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. It is also integrally involved in other protocols in the Division of Cardiology that require the precise diagnosis and non-invasive evaluation of cardiovascular anomalies in fetuses and children.

  • Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (TAPSE) in Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension -- a retrospective study of images from clinical echocardiographic examinations. In the initial stage of the study, measurements of TAPSE by M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography methods will be compared. Subsequently, TAPSE information will be compared to clinical information obtained from the medical chart on patients with pulmonary hypertension. Contact: Wyman W. Lai, MD, MPH
  • Ventricular Dyssynchrony in Pediatric Heart Disease -- a retrospective study of all infants and children with congenital or acquired heart disease. The primary goal is to determine whether mechanical cardiac dyssynchrony is present in congenital or acquired heart disease as demonstrated on echocardiography. Contact: Marc Richmond, MD
  • Echocardiographic Assessment of Right Ventricular Structure and Function -- a proposed study to evaluate the ability of newer echocardiographic methods to determine right ventricular size and function and pulmonary vascular hemodynamics compared to those values obtained by cardiac MRI and right heart catheterization. Contact: Wyman W. Lai, MD, MPH
  • Baseline Correction of Phase Contrast Images in Congenital Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging -- a retrospective study of the impact of using phantom correction on phase contrast images performed on clinical CMR examinations. The differences considered clinically significant include a change in pulmonary or aortic flow, pulmonary-to-systemic flow ratio, valvular regurgitation, and right/left lung flow. Contact: Wyman W. Lai, MD, MPH
