NeoCardioLab Data Extraction Atlas
At the NeoCardioLab, our commitment to transparency in our research procedures is paramount. Therefore, we are openly sharing our data extraction and echocardiography measurement methodologies for all our research projects, and our targeted neonatal echocardiography. These measurements are designed to align with the established literature and adhere to the guidelines set forth by the American Society of Echocardiography and the Canadian Society of Echocardiography. The NeoCardioLab Atlas of measurements is now available here.
Le 9 septembre 2023 - Au NeoCardioLab, notre engagement envers la transparence dans nos procédures de recherche est primordial. C'est pourquoi nous partageons ouvertement nos méthodes d'extraction de données et de mesure en échocardiographie pour l'ensemble de nos projets de recherche, y compris pour nos échocardiographies néonatales ciblées. Ces mesures sont conçues pour être en accord avec la littérature établie et conformes aux directives énoncées par la Société américaine d'échocardiographie et la Société canadienne d'échocardiographie. L'Atlas des mesures du NeoCardioLab est désormais disponible ici.
