Prognostic Signals from Moderate Valve Disease in Big Data: An Artefact of DICOM Structured Reporting?
Recent studies have identified an association between moderate AS and outcome. We assessed whether DICOM structured reporting (SR), which captures and inserts echocardiographic measurements and text data directly into radiological reports, may lead to misclassifying patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) as moderate.

Accuracy and Reliability of Left Atrial Appendage Morphology Assessment by Three-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiographic Glass Rendering Modality: A Comparative Study With Computed Tomography
Contrast-enhanced computed tomography is the reference-standard imaging technique to assess left atrial appendage (LAA) morphology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of two-dimensional and new three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiographic rendering modalities in assessing LAA morphology.

Accuracy and reliability of left atrial appendage morphology assessment by 3D transesophageal echocardiographic glass rendering modality: a comparative study with computed tomography
Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) is the reference-standard imaging technique to assess left atrial appendage (LAA) morphology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of 2D and new 3D-transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) rendering modalities in assessing LAA morphology.
