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:

	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)
	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)
	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)
	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)
	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)
	The Auto contouring button activates the process of automatic contouring of the left ventricle endocardium end epicardium (see Section 8.3.3)
	The Remove all cardiac contours button deletes all the contours built manually or automatically (see section 8.3.4)
	The Start analysis button triggers the analysis process and opens a panel with all the results of functional parameters evaluation (see Section 8.4)
	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
