Abstract

See full text

An evaluation system for determination of cardiovascular function parameters using ultrasound images is provided. The evaluation system includes a data reading module, a 2D image generating module, a contour determination module, an active contour module, a geometric center axis computing module, and a function evaluation module. After reading cardiovascular ultrasonographic files with the data reading module, the 2D image generating module displays 2D images. Then, active contours are generated by the contour determination module and the active contour module, so as for the geometric center axis computing module to calculate geometric center axes. Finally, the function evaluation module calculates evaluation parameters according to the geometric center axes. Thus, evaluation parameters can be derived from cardiovascular ultrasound images for clinical diagnosis in the evaluation of cardiovascular functions.
