8.2 Tools for Cardiac Function Analysis

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Functionality is available in a separate module which is activated in the Pro edition for an extra fee
____________________________________________________________________________________________

The toolbar for cardiac function analysis is on the right-hand side of the Cardiac function analysis (Fig. 8.2).

Tools:

PIC The Endocardial LV contour button is aimed for building and editing the inner contour of the left ventricle manually (the contour is shown in red)
PIC The Epicardial LV contour button is aimed for building and editing the outer contour of the left ventricle manually (the contour is shown in yellow)
PIC The Endocardial RV contour button is aimed for building and editing the inner contour of the right ventricle manually (the contour is shown in dark-blue)
PIC The Epicardial RV contour button is aimed for building and editing the outer contour of the right ventricle manually (the contour is shown in light-blue)
PIC The LV extension boundaries button is aimed for manual determination of the left ventricle extension boundaries along the long axis (see Section 8.3.2)
PIC The Auto contouring button activates the process of automatic contouring of the left ventricle endocardium (see Section 8.3.3)
PIC The Remove all cardiac contours button deletes all the contours built manually or automatically (see section 8.3.4)
PIC The Start analysis button triggers the analysis process and opens a panel with all the results of functional parameters evaluation (see Section 8.4)
PIC The Edit button closes the panel with the results and opens the toolbar for cardiac function analysis to provide an opportunity to build and edit contours
