Method And Apparatus For Cardiac Elastography

US Patent:
2004005, Mar 25, 2004
Filed:
Sep 19, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/247693
Inventors:
Tomy Varghese - Madison WI, US
Christian Breburda - Madison WI, US
James Zagzebski - Madison WI, US
Peter Rahko - Verona WI, US
International Classification:
A61B008/00
US Classification:
600/450000
Abstract:
Elastographic imaging of heart tissue may be used to provide strain images by mapping strain magnitude to brightness and strain sign to hue and thus provide improved clinical indication of compression and distension of heart muscle. An areal cursor may be used to obtain quantitative measurements of strain at predetermined periods in the heart cycle. Multiple area measurements of strain may be combined to provide a quantitative index of cardiac health.
