Technological advances in tissue Doppler imaging echocardiography.

Full Abstract

Tissue Doppler imaging is a recently introduced echocardiographic tool for measuring myocardial velocities. In this article the physical principles and different myocardial velocity imaging modalities are discussed. Examples of practical applications and clinical use of this non-invasive imaging technique are provided.
