Right heart quantification awareness: Part 4
The right heart has jokingly been referred to as the organ's stepchild, with little attention paid to its size, function, and prognostic implications. In this column, Andrea Fields of CardioServ reviews the proper methods to quantify the right heart for both size and function on echocardiography.

Right heart quantification awareness: Part 3
The right heart has jokingly been referred to as the organ's stepchild, with little attention paid to its size, function, and prognostic implications. To help with this often overlooked task, this series from CardioServ will review the proper methods to quantify the right heart. Part 3 focuses on the preferred volumetric measurement methods and linear measurements for calculating the size of the right atrium.

Right heart quantification awareness: Part 1
The right heart has jokingly been referred to as the organ's stepchild, with little attention paid to its size, function, and prognostic implications. To help with this often overlooked task, a new series from CardioServ will review the proper methods to quantify the right heart for both size and function.

Figure: Improved image quality with a generative adversarial network architecture for low- to high-field-strength image translation, called LowGAN. (A–C) Top: High-field-strength (3-T) and low-field-strength (64-mT) images and LowGAN outputs for a single participant across (A) fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), (B) T1-weighted (T1w), and (C) T2-weighted (T2w) contrasts. Bottom: Graphs demonstrate the structural similarity index (SSIM), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), normalized cross-correlation (NCC), and feature similarity index (FSIM) between high field strength and low field strength (64-mT) and high field strength and LowGAN outputs. a.u. = arbitrary units.****p ≤ 0.0001.
