APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ANALYSING FUNCTIONAL CAHNGES OF LEFT VENTICLE

摘要

A technique for analyzing the change in left ventricular wall thickness and left ventricular wall motion in Serial 4D echocardiography using a landmark matching technique is disclosed. To this end, a method for analyzing a change in left ventricular function according to the present invention includes: obtaining a first image and a second image by photographing a 4D ultrasound image with respect to a heart; Extracting at least one mutually corresponding feature point that does not occur in each of the first image and the second image as reference points; And performing landmark registration for transforming any one of the first image and the second image to match another one based on the reference point of the first image and the reference point of the second image .
