Transthoracic 2D-Echo Study Price in Bangladesh

What is Transthoracic 2D-Echo Study?

A Transthoracic 2D-Echo Study is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses ultrasound to create detailed, real-time images of the heart's structure and function. It involves placing a gel on the chest, and a transducer (ultrasound probe) is moved over the skin to capture the heart’s chambers, valves, and blood flow.

This test helps diagnose a range of heart conditions, including valve diseases, heart failure, congenital heart defects, and other cardiac abnormalities. The procedure is painless, requires no special preparation, and typically takes 30-60 minutes.

It provides valuable insights into heart health and guides treatment decisions.

What to expect & how to prepare

An ultrasound scan uses high-frequency sound waves to look at organs, vessels or a pregnancy in real time. A sonologist applies gel to the skin and moves a probe over the area. Nothing is injected.

• Preparation varies by body part: some scans need a full bladder, some need a few hours without food, and many need nothing at all. Ask the centre which applies to your scan when you book.
• Clothing: wear something loose that gives easy access to the area being scanned.
• Bring earlier reports: previous scans help the sonologist compare findings.

Ultrasound uses no ionising radiation, which is why it is the routine choice in pregnancy.

Performed by a sonologist or radiologist; most centres ask for the referring doctor's advice so the right area is scanned.
