We presented a 28-year-old man with myocardial infarction with an apical mass detected by echocardiography. Compared with routine imaging using a phased transducer array, linear transducer arrays were used in two-dimensional and contrast echocardiography to enhance apical visualization and successfully demonstrated the shape and blood perfusion of apical thrombus with precision. We successfully explored the feasibility of imaging the apical thrombus with a linear transducer array.
