ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSIS BY QUANTIFICATION OF MYOCARDIAL PERFORMANCE

摘要

An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system is described which acquires 3D data sets of the heart including the myocardium. The epicardial myocardium in the data sets are identified by automated or A 3D image of the myocardium is produced from the defined surfaces. The 3D image illustrates the wall regions, with quantified measures made for each defined region.
