Abstract:
Myocardial contusion (MC) is a common injury following blunt chest trauma without any specific symptoms.Several techniques such as electrocardiogram, estimation of myocardial band fraction of creatine phosphokinase, chest radiography and the scintiscanning missed efficiency to characterize the MC.Another technique based on transesophageal echocardiography [TEE] allows to visualize the structures of the heart with a good spatial resolution.We postulated that the quantitative texture analysis of regional image texture in two- dimensional [2D] TEE echocardiograms would be an accurate method to differentiate normal from abnormal myocardial wall.This preliminary experimental study demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed technique.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
