TDI (Tissue Doppler Imaging)

TDI (Tissue Doppler Imaging) is an advanced echocardiography technique that measures myocardial tissue velocity, crucial for assessing cardiac function in medical and ultrasound settings. Unlike traditional Doppler, which analyzes blood flow, TDI focuses on the heart muscle’s movement, providing insights into systolic and diastolic performance. This non-invasive method helps diagnose conditions like heart failure and regional wall motion abnormalities.

Optimizing cardiac ultrasound, TDI offers a vital tool for cardiologists and sonographers. Its ability to quantify subtle myocardial changes aids in early disease detection and treatment monitoring, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes in cardiovascular imaging.
