3D analysis of the left ventricle requires four steps: finding the anatomical landmarks, segmenting images into 2D views, marking endocardial borders and generating a 3D ventricle model. In this lesson, our expert explains 3D echo overcomes 2D echo measurement limitations in the case of cardiac remodeling.

With 2D echo, we can assess right ventricular function using measurements like the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) or fractional area change (FAC). In this video, you will find out how the right ventricular function assessment can be even more accurate with 3D echo.

The left atrium size is a meaningful prognostic marker for cerebral or cardiovascular disease. In this video, we’ll cover measuring atrial volume with 3D echo and the assessment of intracardiac masses.

3D echo allows you to evaluate the cusp morphology and function in the aortic valve, which hasn’t been possible with 2D echo. In this video, you’ll learn when to use the X plane mode for valve assessment and how 3D echo helps diagnose congenital valve malformations.

While colonoscopy is the standard diagnostic test for colorectal cancer, CT plays a role as a staging tool. In this video, you’ll find out what the apple core lesion is and how to recognize hepatic metastases from colon cancer.

Small bowel obstruction needs a quick diagnostic workup because the patient may need emergency surgery (e.g., when ischemia or perforation are present). In this video, you’ll learn how to recognize small bowel obstruction in a CT study by identifying the three key imaging features.

When an older patient presents with fever and left lower quadrant pain, a very probable cause for these symptoms is diverticulitis. To be sure, you need to confirm your diagnosis with imaging. This video summarizes the key CT features of both uncomplicated diverticulitis and diverticulitis with perforation.

Abdominal CT is the most reliable imaging method to diagnose appendicitis. In this video, you’ll learn the three key imaging features of both uncomplicated appendicitis and appendicitis with perforation. You’ll also see an expert radiologist review a real CT study of a patient with appendicitis.

Anki gives you a lot of freedom when it comes to creating your flashcards. It’s a great advantage because you can adjust the flashcards to your material and learning strategy. In this video, we compare the two main card types. By the end, you’ll know how to create basic cards and cloze deletion cards.

At first, Anki may seem discouraging. This video aims to help you ease into using the app, explaining the interface and how to add cards to your library. Even if you don’t consider yourself very tech savvy, you’ll feel comfortable adding Anki to your learning routine.
