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

摘要

Method for quantifying the presence of fats in a region of the heart (10) comprising: • an acquisition of an image of at least one cavity (25, 26, VG, VD) of the heart (10) and of a wall (20, 21, 21'); • a selection of at least one pixel (27) of a section through the heart (10) comprising a density of pixels (Dv) included in a first range of values (G1); • a growth in the selection of at least one pixel (27) so as to define an extended 3D zone (27) delimited by the cavity; • an operation of homogeneous dilation of the extended 3D zone making it possible to define a dilated volume (27'); • an operation of extracting a peripheral region (20') arising from the subtraction between the dilated volume (27) and the extended 3D zone (27'); • a quantification of the number of pixels of a second range of values (G2) within the peripheral region.
