[Pathophysiological analysis of cardiac function by computer processing of echocardiograms].
Automatic image processing system has been developed for analysis of cardiac function with echocardiograms. Echograms of apical long axis view were transferred to microcomputer system and processed to display three dimensional images of left ventricular myocardium. With this technology, analysis of left ventricular wall thickness in three dimensional manner revealed pathophysiological changes in ischemic heart disease.
