Comparing a knowledge-based 3D reconstruction algorithm to TomTec 3D echocardiogram algorithm in measuring left cardiac chamber volumes in the pediatric population
This study demonstrates that there is a very good correlation between knowledge-based (VMS 3.0+) and 3D (Tomtec) algorithms when measuring 3D echocardiography-derived LA and LV volumes in pediatric patients. The time (mins) to analyze volumes using VMS were less than using Tomtec.
This study demonstrates that calculation of ventricular volumes by KBR allows reliable non-invasive assessment of right ventricular volumes with excellent intra- and interobserver variations. The calculated percentiles based on a large paediatric population serve as a reference and may facilitate the use of real-time 3D echocardiography for the analysis of right ventricular size and function.
Real-time 3D-echocardiography of the right ventricle—paediatric reference values for right ventricular volumes using knowledge-based reconstruction: a multicentre study
This study demonstrates clinical feasibility of quantifying ventricular volumes and function using VMS+ on native 3DE datasets from normal and repaired TOF hearts. Analyses times with semiautomatic detection for the LV, however for the RV, VMS+ analysis times were longer. RV volumes obtained by VMS+ were greater than those by semiautomatic border detection, likely due to better outflow tract inclusion with VMS+.

measurements.
