[A new method for quantification of 2-dimensional echocardiographic images of the left ventricle (author's transl)]
Abstract:
A computer-supported system was designed for processing of 2-dimensional echocardiographic images of the left ventricle. The purpose of the method is to improve quantitative analysis of regional contraction patterns of the ventricle, using a 3-dimensional reconstruction technique. The definition of the spatial position of the transducer and a computer assisted outlining of the ventricle are the main features of the system. The usefulness of this method was demonstrated in a preliminary study.

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...
