title: Comparison of echocardiographic acoustic quantification with off-line manual tracing for determining left ventricular volume and ejection fraction in pediatric patients.
abstract: Echocardiographic measurement of left ventricular systolic and diastolic volume and ejection fraction in pediatric patients by acoustic quantification using automated border methods compares well with measurements done by manual trace. The time necessary for completion of measurements was similar for the two methods.
