Research results from Q. Duan and colleagues update understanding of cardiology

Published in Cardiovascular Week, March 16th, 2009

"Matrix-phased array transducers for real-time 3-D ultrasound enable fast, noninvasive visualization of cardiac ventricles. Typically, 3-D ultrasound images are semiautomatically segmented to extract the left ventricular endocardial surface at end-diastole and end-systole," scientists in the United States report.

"Automatic segmentation and propagation of this surface throughout the entire cardiac cycle is a challenging and cumbersome task. If the position of the endocardial surface is provided at one or two time frames during the cardiac cycle, automated tracking of the surface over the remaining time frames could reduce the workload of cardiologists and optimize...
