System for Cardiac Condition Analysis Based on Cardiac Operation Patterns

摘要

A system for heart performance monitoring stores image data representing a sequence of medical images of a surface of a patient heart acquired over multiple contraction and reperfusion cycles. An image data processor automatically processes the image data to determine, change in displacement of selected points of a region of interest of the heart surface over individual cycles of the multiple contraction and reperfusion cycles, maximum and minimum peak displacement points and associated relative times of occurrence of the maximum and minimum peak displacement points and individual parameters related to change in displacement of corresponding individual points of the selected points. A display image shows a grid of individual parameters and an individual grid cell employs a visual attribute to visually indicate degree of change in an associated individual parameter occurring over the multiple contraction and reperfusion cycles.
