A Snake Model for Anatomic M-mode Tracking in Echocardiography
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of Tissue Doppler Imaging Imaging (TDI) has allowed to obtain velocity, strain and strain rate parameters in real time and is currently used routinely in the echocardiography lab. For analysis2D image sequences, profiles are marked on the image, and quantitative time profiles are obtained from them, a procedure known as anatomic M-mode. For correct quantification, the position of the region of interest must be tracked along the sequence. We propose a model for tracking profiles using a dual grey level/ TDI acquisition. Curves are tracked on the grey level sequence using an optical flow-based snake model and accurate TDI values are obtained from the tracked curve.

Comparison between M-Mode and Doppler echocardiography in diagnosis
Introduction: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is the persistence of a normal fetal structure between left pulmonary artery and descending aorta. Persistence of this fetal structure beyond 10 days of life is considered abnormal. In this study we compared M-Mode and Doppler echocardiography in diagnosis of PDA in children at Aliasghar Hospital in Zahedan and Children hospital in Bandar Abbas for...
متن کاملEstimation of Ejection Fraction with Echocardiographic and Cardioangiographic Methods in 50 Cardiac Patients
Ejection fraction is the most important indicator of heart failure. Angiography , is a standard method to demonstrate ejection fraction but it is invasive. Therefore determination of sensitivity and specificity of echocardiography versus angiography is a good guidance for physicians. A total number of 50 patients were enrolled in a prospective study. Two dimension and M-Mode echocardiography...
متن کاملSnake Deformations Based on Optical Flow Forces for Contrast Agent Tracking in Echocardiography
In this paper we present an extension to the formulation of Active Contour Models (Snakes) by including an additional contour-deforming force. The new force is derived from the optical flow field calculated between two time-consecutive images. The addition of the new force assists the snake in tracking desired dynamics while the traditional snake forces guarantee the contour smoothness and attr...
متن کاملEchocardiographic assessment of myocardial infarction: comparison of a rat model in two strains
The purpose of this study was to induce myocardial infarction (MI) and compare the echocardiographic parameters and mortality ratio of Lewis inbred and Wistar outbred strain before and after the procedure to help choose the best one for MI studies. In this study MI was induced in 46 Lewis and 34 Wistar by occlusion of left anterior descending artery (LAD). Doppler, two-dimensional (2-D) and 2-D...
متن کاملEvaluation of strain and strain rate parameters using two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography in patients with coronary artery disease (Research Article)
The study aimed was to measure left ventricular (LV) strain using speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) for assessment of LV function. Eighty-two subjects (mean age 57±9 years) with suspected chest pain underwent two-dimensional (2D)-echocardiography before coronary angiography. Conventional echocardiographic parameters were used for the assessment of LV function. Longitudinal strain and its ...
