Abstract:
ObjectiveTo build the computer-aided diagnosis system of left ventricular diastolic function for echocardiography,to make the evaluation process of left ventricular diastolic function for echocardiography more convenient,efficient,standardized and to obtain more accurate,practical,objective and reliable diagnostic results.MethodsFirst,the system was developed by the Macromedia Flash Professional referred to the newest guidelines and suggestions published by the American Society of Echocardiography(ASE) in 2009.Second,the program of left ventricular diastolic function in the computer- aided diagnosis system was designed,debugged and improved according to feedback information frompractical applications.ResultsThe diagnostic system can work simultaneously with echocardiography.If assessment parameters of the newest guidelines and suggestions,published by the American Society of Echocardiography in 2009,are imported to the system,then it can give the diagnosis of the change about the left ventricle filling pressures and score the left ventricular diastolic function quickly and automatically.The system will export standard report with both pictures and text.ConclusionsAccording to our experiment,the computer-aided diagnosis system is able to make the evaluation process of left ventricular diastolic function much more standardized and simplified,which guarantee the objectivity and reliability of the evaluation results.Consequently,it will be able to apply to clinical practice in the future.
