Medical Subject Headings (MeSH 2026) Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment Diagnosis 41 resources . 1 sub-topic
The determination of the nature of a disease or condition, or the distinguishing of one disease or condition from another. Assessment may be made through physical examination, laboratory tests, or the likes. Computerized programs may be used to enhance the decision-making process.

Changes in the quality of the echocardiographic image with inspiration. Transthoracic parasternal long axis view of the left ventricle recorded with normal respiration revealing a decrease in the quality of the echocardiographic image with inspiration. Echocardiography - Wikimedia Resource Dynamic computed tomography in a representative animal during biphasic positive airway pressure + spontaneous breathing (BIPAP+SBmean). Dynamic computed tomography in a representative animal during biphasic positive airway pressure + spontaneous breathing (BIPAP+SBmean). This video shows a dynamic computed tomography scan (grey scale) of the chest taken for approximately 60 seconds at the hilus in one representative animal during assisted ventilation with BIPAP+SBmean. Acute lung injury was induced by surfactant depletion. See Additional file 3 for comparison with pressure support ventilation (PSV). Tomography - Wikimedia Resource Dynamic computed tomography in a representative animal during pressure support ventilation (PSV). Dynamic computed tomography in a representative animal during pressure support ventilation (PSV). This video shows a dynamic computed tomography scan (grey scale) of the chest taken for approximately 60 seconds at the hilus in a representative animal during assisted ventilation with PSV. Acute lung injury was induced by surfactant depletion. See Additional file 2 for comparison with biphasic positive airway pressure + spontaneous breathing (BIPAP+SBmean). Tomography - Wikimedia Resource Excessive translational motion of the heart with normal respiration. Excessive translational motion of the heart with normal respiration. Transthoracic short axis view recorded during normal respiration. The heart moves medially with inspiration.

Image acquisition during suspended respiration (held end-expiration) in a patient with excessive translational motion of the heart with normal respiration. Transthoracic short axis view. Excessive translational motion can be avoided by acquiring images during held end-expiration. Echocardiography - Wikimedia Resource Improvement in the quality of the echocardiographic image recorded during held end expiration. Improvement in the quality of the echocardiographic image recorded during held end expiration. Transthoracic parasternal long axis view of the left ventricle recorded during held end expiration showing a significant improvement in the quality of the echocardiographic image. Echocardiography - Wikimedia Resource Increased interventricular interaction in a patient with constrictive pericarditis. Increased interventricular interaction in a patient with constrictive pericarditis. Transthoracic apical 4 chamber view in a patient with constrictive pericarditis reveals the increased interventricular interaction (with left ventricular volume decrease there is a corresponding increase in right ventricular volume). Echocardiography - Wikimedia Resource Influence of inspiration on echocardiographic image in subcostal view. Influence of inspiration on echocardiographic image in subcostal view. Subcostal 4 chamber view. Inspiration brings the diaphragm down, improving imaging of the heart. Echocardiography - Wikimedia Resource Influence of pulmonary interference on echocardiographic visualization of cardiac structures during normal respiration. Influence of pulmonary interference on echocardiographic visualization of cardiac structures during normal respiration. Transthoracic apical 4 chamber view recorded during normal respiration. During inspiration pulmonary interference does not allow the visualization of cardiac structures. Echocardiography - Wikimedia Resource Phasic variation in cardiac volumes caused by cardiac tamponade, visualized in transthoracic apical 4 chamber view. Phasic variation in cardiac volumes caused by cardiac tamponade, visualized in transthoracic apical 4 chamber view. The intermittent collapse of the free walls of the right atrium and right ventricle visualized in the transthoracic apical 4 chamber view in a patient with cardiac tamponade. Echocardiography - Wikimedia Resource Phasic variation in cardiac volumes visualized in transthoracic basal short axis view caused by cardiac tamponade. Phasic variation in cardiac volumes visualized in transthoracic basal short axis view caused by cardiac tamponade. Transthoracic basal short axis view in a patient with cardiac tamponade demonstrates diastolic collapse of the free walls of the right atrium and right ventricle.
