METHODS, APPARATUS AND ARTICLES OF MANUFACTURE TO PROCESS CARDIAC IMAGES TO DETECT HEART MOTION ABNORMALITIES

摘要

Example methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to process cardiac images to detect heart motion abnormalities are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes using a filter coefficient based on a plurality of cardiac images to characterize motion of a heart; computing an information-theoretic metric from the filter coefficient; and comparing the information-theoretic metric to a threshold to determine whether the motion of the heart is abnormal.
