First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two ways of taking ultrasound images of the heart (apical vs subcostal) to measure the right heart's size and function in 50 children. The goal was to see which method gives results closer to the gold-standard MRI. The findings will help doctors choose the best imaging approach for young patients.
