the Computed Tomography (CT) environment and compare radial strain calculations
obtained by two different techniques: the speckle tracking ultrasonography and the
Multislices Computed Tomography (MSCT). The Left Ventricular (LF) phantom was fabricate
from 10% solution of the poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). Our model of the LV was driven by the
computer-controlled hydraulic piston Super-Pump (Vivitro Inc., Canada) with adjustable
fluid volumes. The stroke volume was set at of 24ml. The fluid pressure was changed within
range of 0-60 mmHg, and the pulse rate was of 60 cycles/per minute. The relationships
between computer controlled left ventricular wall deformations and its visualizations of the
echocardiographic and CT imaging, both in the normal and pathological conditions were
examined. The difference of assessment the Radial Strain between two methods was not
exceeding 1.1%.
