TEE-ASSISTED CARDIAC RESYNCHRONIZATION THERAPY WITH MECHANICAL ACTIVATION MAPPING

摘要

A method for generating an enhanced ultrasound display including the steps of capturing a set of ultrasound image frames and identifying pixels in the captured set of frames that correspond to a structure. The method also includes generating a set of output frames. Each output frame within the set of output frames is generated by (a) selecting a first frame of the captured set; (b) selecting a second frame of the captured set, wherein the second frame is subsequent in time to the first frame; (c) coloring pixels of the first frame that correspond to the structure a first color; (d) coloring pixels of the second frame that correspond to the structure a second color; and (e) overlaying the colorized first frame and the colorized second frame to generate the output frame. The method also includes displaying the output frames.
