METHOD FOR QUANTIFYING THE PRESENCE OF FATS IN A REGION OF THE HEART

摘要

A method for quantifying the presence of fats in a region of the heart includes an acquisition of an image of at least one cavity of the heart and of a wall; a selection of at least one pixel of a section through the heart including a density of pixels included in a first range of values; a growth in the selection of at least one pixel so as to define an extended 3D zone delimited by the cavity; an operation of homogeneous dilation of the extended 3D zone making it possible to define a dilated volume; an operation of extracting a peripheral region arising from the subtraction between the dilated volume and the extended 3D zone; a quantification of the number of pixels of a second range of values within the peripheral region.
