  "summary_technical": "MeSH concept M0006970, the preferred concept of descriptor D004452, describes echocardiography as recording the heart and the tissue near it with ultrasound, covering how large the structures are, how they move and what they are made of, and names the transthoracic approach as the standard one. Other approaches are not recorded here. This identity says nothing about accuracy, indications or the authorization of any device.",
