AUTOMATED DIASTOLIC FUNCTION ANALYSIS WITH ULTRASOUND

摘要

Automated analysis of heart function is provided with ultrasound images. A clip of ultrasound images of the heart is used to detect (22) two or three dimensional motion, such as determining (22) a two-dimensional motion vector by tracking wall segments with B-mode data. The amplitude of motion during the e-wave and/or a-wave phase of diastole is extracted (24) for diagnosis assistance.
