Model-based analysis of myocardial strain data acquired by tissue Doppler imaging

摘要

ObjectiveTissue Doppler imaging (TDI) is commonly used to evaluate regional ventricular contraction properties through the analysis of myocardial strain. During the clinical examination, a set of strain signals is acquired concurrently at different locations. However, the joint interpretation of these signals remains difficult. This paper proposes a model-based approach in order to assist the clinician in making an analysis of myocardial strain.
