Transthoracic echocardiographic power motion tissue imaging of an intracardiac tumor that could not be seen with conventional transthoracic echocardiographic recordings.
Power motion imaging allows interrogation of low-velocity tissue. By means of power motion imaging with 2 different late-model echographs we identified an intra-atrial tumor that was undetectable on conventional transthoracic echocardiograms.
