Heart Large

What term describes a study of radiographic view demensions of the heart and major blood vessels?

Medical Terminology I THANK duties knew most of them from the top of my head but there are some I need help

The only study that allows you to view and calculate the dimensions of the heart (left and wall thicknesses of right atrial and ventricular internal diameter) and the aorta, the artery and the pulmonary vein and superior and inferior vena cava is: ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY This is a very high frequency sound waves (inaudible to the ear human, and completely non-invasive) also called ultrasound is directed into the heart and the time taken to return it (echo hence the name) to the transducer (pressure sensor) is measured by a computer and converted into a graphical representation of the heart. Hope this helps, if not certain, please email me.
