Echo Inject packets of energy waves, pulsed, Receive echoes Scan to collect data to convert to image Tomographic Dynamic Flow signal from phase shift CMR Insert packets of energy waves, pulsed, Receive echoes Scan to collect data to convert to image Tomographic Dynamic Flow signal from phase shift Similarities
Sound Speed 1540 m/s Echo=A-mode (amp-time) Stopped by Metal Bone Air-tissue Views limited by rib window, contact, angle Resolution depends on frequency, beamwidth Bright blood requires contrast Radiowave Speed 299,792,258 m/s Echo=K-mode (amp-spatial freq) Distorted by Metal (No problems with bone, air/tissue) Any view Resolution is adjustable down to 10 microns, limited by noise and acquisition time Bright blood many ways Differences Echo CMR

Calcium Scoring • Claims: • Negative score may indicate non-cardiac sources of chest pain • Scores over 1,000 predict coronary event within the next 2-3 years • Positive scores referred for catheterization or stress test • BUT significant disease may have negative score • Positive score may be stable plaque
Elastic Match of Coronaries • Fast CT of mom • Elastic match • contrast • Simulated holography as background, for context
