Figure 5. Four chamber echocardiograms taken with fundamental imaging on the left and harmonic imaging of tissue on the right. There is a prominent artifact (arrows) noted with fundamental imaging. This artifact disappears with the use of harmonic imaging of tissue. In addition, the endocardium of the lateral wall is more readily available with this enhanced imaging technique.
