Abstract
This study is aimed at decreasing wrong diagnosis with corrected EF(Ejection Fraction) of 2D echo cardiography by analysing the physical time-resolution difference between Cine MRI and 2D echo cardiography and applying the corrected EF in 2D echocardiography. From February 2010 to December 2011, among the 110 patients who had undergone both 2D echo cardiography and cine MRI only 37 patient were selected suffering aortic valve regurgitation. ED, ES and SV were measured and EF was calculated in each system while normal ranges of Cine MRI and 2D echocardiography were compared to evauate misdiagnosis rate. The correlation of physical time resolution between 2D echocardiography and MRI was evaluated and the differences were corrected with linear regression coefficient which is derived from linear regression analysis. Blandt-Altman plot was used to evaluate the reliability of corrected 2D echo cardiography EF and compare the error among measured values. The values were compared with MRI normal range and misdiagnosis rate was measured again. As a result, misdiagnosis rates of physical time resolution were measured to be 32.4%(12people) before the correction of EF and 18.9%(7people) after the correction. Also, EF confirmed in Blandt-Altman plot were almost the same with MRI EF. In conclusion, when diagnosing aortic regurgitation disease, simply using 2D echocardiography can easily raise the misdiagnosis rates, therefore considering the MRI machine's physical merits, correcting the time resolution difference is important by calculating time resolution wrong diagnosis would decrease and it is considered to be useful in clinical circumstances.
