LOINC short name : LA ES vol/BSA US.2D mod Simpson;
LOINC description : The modified Simpson method is commonly used for volume measurements in 2D cardiac
imaging. It uses the biplane method of disks to measure volume, meaning that the total
volume is calculated by adding together the two-dimensional area measurements of the
series of circular or elliptical slices that, taken as a whole, represent the chamber
being imaged. [PMID: 16376782] The volume measurements can then be used in calculations
of other parameters related to cardiac function.;
