An echocardiogram is an ultrasound test that checks the structure and function of your heart October 19 2022 National Diagnostic Imaging - Cleveland Ohio

An echocardiography, echocardiogram, cardiac echo or simply an echo, is an ultrasound of the heart. Echo tests are used to monitor congenital heart disease and pulmonary hypertension.

An echocardiogram, unlike an ECG, provides a detailed image of the heart muscle and heart valves. Learn how to read an echocardiogram report, here.

Echocardiography is a type of medical imaging of the heart, using standard ultrasound or Doppler ultrasound - October 19 2022 - National Diagnostic Imaging Teleradiology Company - Cleveland Ohio

Echocardiography is a type of medical imaging of the heart, using standard ultrasound or Doppler ultrasound. An “echo” is a graphic outline of the heart’s movement.

During an echo test, NDI customers use ultrasound (high-frequency sound waves) from a hand-held wand placed on their patient’s chest to take pictures of the heart’s valves and chambers.

NDI Provides Echocardiogram Second Opinions, Second Reads And Secondary Interpretations - October 19 2022 - National Diagnostic Imaging Teleradiology Company - Cleveland Ohio

NDI Provides Echocardiogram Second Opinions, Second Reads And Secondary Interpretations

NDI performs secondary interpretations of diagnostic imaging examinations and echocardiograms to improve care for complex patients. NDI cardiologists provide second opinions, second reads and secondary interpretations on echocardiogram studies. Because NDI cardiologists have  subspecialty clinical, pathology and diagnostic imaging expertise, they can confirm or clarify a diagnoses.

Secondary interpretations of diagnostic imaging examinations—the rendering of formal secondary reports for imaging examinations originally performed and interpreted at other institutions—most often occur when patients are referred to specialized health care centers.

Fees for echocardiogram second reads for private individuals and lawyers who need a second opinion start at $200.

Types of Echocardiography

  • Transthoracic echocardiogram
  • Transesophageal echocardiogram
  • Stress echocardiography
  • Intracardiac echocardiography
  • Intravascular ultrasound

NDI cardiologists interpret the following studies via teleradiology and submit their findings to referring physicians via a PACS, and in some cases, by email:

  • Echocardiogram
  • ECG
  • Stress ECG
  • Nuclear Stress Test (Including Stress ECG)
  • Stress Echocardiogram (Including Stress ECG)
  • Coronary CTA
  • Cardiac MRI
  • Fetal Echocardiogram

A fetal echocardiogram (also called a fetal echo) uses sound waves to create pictures of an unborn baby’s heart. This ultrasound test shows the structure of the heart and how well it’s working.

The fetal echocardiogram test is performed by a specially trained ultrasound sonographer and the images are interpreted by a pediatric cardiologist who specializes in fetal congenital heart disease.

Interpreting An Echocardiogram Report

An echocardiogram report describes the heart’s structures in detail and often includes a summary of the cardiologist’s findings.

Information Included In An Echocardiogram Report

  • The size of the heart chambers and thickness of the heart muscle
  • The function of the left and right ventricles (pumping chambers)
  • A description of the shape, movement, and function of the heart valves
  • A description of other structures that are important for heart function, including the large arteries and veins, the lining of the heart (the pericardium), and any abnormalities, such as blood clots

How To Understand An Echocardiogram

Interpreting The Results Of An Echocardiogram

The resulting image of an echocardiogram can show a big picture image of heart health, function, and strength. For example, the test can show if the heart is enlarged or has thickened walls. Walls thicker than 1.5cm are considered abnormal. They may indicate high blood pressure and weak or damaged valves.

The echocardiogram can help detect:

  • Abnormal heart valves
  • Congenital heart disease (abnormalities present at birth)
  • Damage to the heart muscle from a heart attack
  • Heart murmurs
  • Inflammation ( pericarditis ) or fluid in the sac around the heart (pericardial effusion)

Accreditation Programs For Diagnostic Imaging Centers In The U.S.

Accreditation Programs For Diagnostic Imaging Centers In The U.S. - December 22 2022 - National Diagnostic Imaging - Radiology Reporting And Teleradiology Services

Diagnostic imaging lets doctors look inside human and animal bodies for clues about a medical condition. A variety of machines and techniques can create pictures of the structures and activities inside the body. The type of imaging a doctor uses depends on the symptoms and the part of your body being examined. Ultrasonography is a popular diagnostic imaging tool that looks inside a dog or cat’s body via the use of sound waves.

ACR Accreditation is recognized as the gold standard in medical imaging. The ACR offers accreditation programs in CT, MRI, breast MRI, nuclear medicine and PET as mandated under the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) as well as for modalities mandated under the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA). Accreditation application and evaluation are typically completed within 90 days.

The ACR has accredited more than 39,000 facilities in 10 imaging modalities. They offer accreditation programs in Mammography, CT, MRI, Breast MRI, Nuclear Medicine and PET, Ultrasound, Breast Ultrasound and Stereotactic Breast Biopsy.

The Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) accredits educational programs in radiography, radiation therapy, magnetic resonance, and medical dosimetry.

The National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) provides the structure and resources you need to develop and operate a high-quality breast center. Programs that are accredited by the NAPBC follow a model for organizing and managing a breast center to facilitate multidisciplinary, integrated, comprehensive breast cancer services.

Get information from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) about their requirements for accreditation of advanced diagnostic imaging suppliers, here.

The Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) is a nonprofit, nationally recognized accrediting organization. The IAC was founded by medical professionals to advance appropriate utilization, standardization and quality of diagnostic imaging and intervention-based procedures.

The IAC is a nonprofit organization in operation to evaluate and accredit facilities that provide diagnostic imaging and procedure-based modalities, thus improving the quality of patient care provided in private offices, clinics and hospitals where such services are performed.

With a 30-year history of offering medical accreditation to facilities within the U.S. and Canada, IAC is also now offering accreditation in international markets. The IAC programs for accreditation are dedicated to ensuring quality patient care and promoting health care and all support one common mission: Improving health care through accreditation®.

The ACVR is the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) recognized veterinary specialty organization™ for certification of Radiology, Radiation Oncology and Equine Diagnostic Imaging.
