Automatic clinical workflow that recognizes and analyzes 2D and doppler modality echocardiogram images for automated cardiac measurements and the diagnosis, prediction and prognosis of heart disease
Abstract:
An automated workflow performed by software executing on at least one processor includes receiving a plurality of echocardiogram images taken by an ultrasound device. A filter separates the plurality of echocardiogram images by 2D images and Doppler modality images based on analyzing image metadata. The 2D images are classified by view type, and the Doppler modality images are classified by view type. The cardiac chambers are segmented in the 2D images, and the Doppler modality images are segmented to generate waveform traces, producing segmented 2D images and segmented Doppler modality images. Using both the sets of images, measurements of cardiac features for both left and right sides of the heart are calculated. The calculated measurements are compared with international cardiac guidelines to generate conclusions and a report is output showing the calculated measurements that fall both within and outside of the guidelines.
