    Summary

    A new intravenous ventriculography technique accurately detects the left ventricular boundary and calculates volumes. This less invasive method allows for sequential monitoring of ventricular function in outpatients.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Computational Biology

    Background:

    • Conventional left ventriculography (LVG) is invasive and limits sequential cardiac function assessment.
    • Accurate detection of the left ventricular (LV) boundary is crucial for evaluating cardiac function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a less invasive method for left ventricular boundary detection and volume calculation using intravenous ventriculography.
    • To enable sequential determination of ventricular function on an outpatient basis.

    Main Methods:

    • A subtraction technique was employed for background suppression in intravenous ventriculography.
    • Digitized contrast images were processed by subtracting reference mask images.
    • An algorithm was developed for LV boundary delineation and automated volume calculation.

    Main Results:

    • Calculated end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), and ejection fraction (EF) from intravenous LVG showed close correlation with conventional LVG (r=0.95-0.98).
    • In patients with valvular regurgitation, EDV index significantly decreased post-surgery (p<0.02).
    • Ejection fraction showed variable changes post-surgery, dependent on preoperative status.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed intravenous ventriculography method is a valid and less invasive alternative to conventional LVG.
    • This technique facilitates accurate and sequential assessment of left ventricular function, particularly beneficial for outpatient monitoring.
