Computer edge displays for cardiac wall motion evaluation.
Several computer display techniques in both black and white and color are described. Use of such techniques improves the qualitative evaluation of ECG-gated cardiac blood pool studies, especially by less experienced observers. Detection of wall motion at the interface between the myocardial wall and the labeled blood within the cardiac chambers is greatly enhanced. No additional equipment nor computer processing time is required to use these display schemes.
