SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMAGING AND MEASURING EPICARDIAL ADIPOSE TISSUE

摘要

An ultrasound imaging system may determine whether a proper cardiac view has been acquired. When a proper cardiac view has been acquired, the ultrasound imaging system may adjust the imaging parameters to visualize epicardial adipose tissue (EAT). Once an image with the adjusted imaging parameters is acquired, the ultrasound imaging system may segment the EAT from the image. Measurements of the EAT may be acquired from the segmented image. In some examples, a report on whether a patient requires follow-up may be generated based on the EAT measurements and patient information.
