Zedu Weekly Wrap – 24 September 2021

A RoadMap to covid normal was announced last Sunday …

Suean and Michael - Zedu Ultrasound

and while the chickens are most definitely not being counted – given that the virus and spreader events can change things in a flash – we’re ever hopeful that the end of October will see the return of face-to-face teaching. Or more correctly, mask-to-mask.

So while we’re gearing up, we’re all the while cognisant that we’ll have to remain nimble, flexible and patient – just as you have been with us!

Something for everyone in this week’s list of free ultrasound resources, with lung ultrasound still generating a lot of research.  For the physics nuts out there we’ve included a piece from Loughborough University that talks about ultrasound at the atomic level!

And as always -if you have something coming up you’d like to add or a gem we may have overlooked – let us know.

See you next week.

Mike and Suean

P.S. – Spread the word and join on our free Coaching Corner on the first Thursday of the month – the more the merrier.

Differences in mitral valve geometry between atrial and ventricular functional mitral regurgitation in patients with atrial fibrillation: a 3D transoesophageal echocardiography study

Three-dimensional MVN analysis. (a) MVN analysis in mid-systole. The mitral annulus was displayed in three cut orthogonal planes. Reference points of mitral annulus (A, P, AL, and PM) were marked on the long-axis and bi-commissural view. The mitral annulus was manually outlined by marking multiple annular points. The mitral leaflet coaptation points were marked, and the leaflets were traced in multiple parallel planes from commissure to commissure. MVN automatically reconstructed a 3D model of MV. (b) MVN analysis in end-diastole. The tips of AML and PML were identified and the whole AML and PML were traced separately. TLA was measured in end-diastole. 3D, three-dimensional; A, anterior; AA, annular area; AL, anterolateral; AML, anterior mitral leaflet; Ao, aorta; MV, mitral valve; MVN, Mitral Valve Navigation; P, posterior; PM, posteromedial; PML, posterior mitral leaflet; TLA, total leaflet area.
