1 Ejection fraction calculated using the disk summation method from 4-chamber end diastole (A), 2-chamber end diastole (B), 4-chamber end-systole (C), and 2-chamber end systole (D) tracings. E. Depiction of a single Simpson disk with elliptical diameters measured from midesophageal 4-chamber and 2-chamber views. Using the software package of the transesophageal echocardiography machines, the volume of each theoretical disk is automatically calculated separately in this way and then summed together to obtain the left ventricular volume in both end diastole and end systole, allowing for calculation of ejection fraction.
