Fig. 2From: Validation of 3D echocardiographic volume detection of left atrium by human cadaveric castsResults of human left atrial cast volume measurements by 3DE and 2DE. a) 3DE and 2DE volumes in comparison to true volumes of casts. b-d) Bland-Altman paired difference plots of volumetric measurements in comparison to true volumes. Black lines represent limits of agreement (mean ± 1.96 SD) and blue lines bias. 2DE volume – volume calculated by 2D echocardiographic biplane area-length method, 3DE GE and 3DE TomTec – 3D echocardiographic volume measured by GE 4D LVQ and TomTec 4D LV-Function softwares, respectively, r – Pearson correlation coefficient.Back to article page
