"Results-screen" of 2DSE. Circumferential strain is calculated on a short axis recording at the level of the papillary muscle in a healthy individual. On the top left the short axis view with the ROI divided into six segments; top right: graphical representation of the selected parameter of all accepted segments; bottom right: peak values of all segments, these values are automatically calculated and can be manually adjusted in the graph if necessary; middle bottom: all available parameters (radial and circumferential strain and strain-rate, radial displacement, rotation and rotation rate), if approved, these values are stored; bottom left: color coded M-mode of the selected parameter.
