Objective evaluation of regional left ventricular wall motion during dobutamine stress echocardiographic studies using segmental analysis of color kinesis images.
OBJECTIVES To test the feasibility of objective and automated evaluation of echocardiographic stress tests, we studied the ability of segmental analysis of color kinesis (CK) images to detect dobutamine-induced wall motion abnormalities and compared this technique with inexperienced reviewers of conventional gray-scale images. BACKGROUND Conventional interpretation of stress echocardiographic...
متن کاملAutomated grading of left ventricular segmental wall motion by an artificial neural network using color kinesis images.
The present study describes an auxiliary tool in the diagnosis of left ventricular (LV) segmental wall motion (WM) abnormalities based on color-coded echocardiographic WM images. An artificial neural network (ANN) was developed and validated for grading LV segmental WM using data from color kinesis (CK) images, a technique developed to display the timing and magnitude of global and regional WM ...
متن کاملEffects of coronary collateral vessels in left ventricular segmental motions and myocardial viability using color kinesis dobutamine stress echocardiography.
OBJECTIVE To detect the functional importance of coronary collaterals, which develop after acute myocardial infarctions (AMI). METHODS Forty patients with acute AMI whose coronary angiography demonstrated a total occlusion of the left anterior descendant (LAD) artery were included in the study, between January 2003 and June 2004. All of the study patients underwent coronary angiography and le...
متن کاملQuantification of regional left ventricular wall motion in newborns by color kinesis.
BACKGROUND Normal values for regional left ventricular wall motion, although documented in adults, have not been reported in healthy newborns. METHODS This study prospectively evaluated global and segmental systolic and diastolic cardiac function by color kinesis in clinically asymptomatic healthy newborns. RESULTS Eighty-eight asymptomatic infants who were less than 48 hours old were studi...
متن کاملMeasurement of Left Ventricular Myocardium Wall Instantaneous Motions with Echocardiographic Sequence Images
Background & Aims: One of the important aims of quantitative cardiac image processing is the clarification of myocardial motions in order to derive biomechanical behavior of the heart in the disease condition. In this study we presented a computerized analysis method for detecting the instantaneous myocardial changes by using 2D echocardiography images. Methods: The analysis was performed on th...
