Enhancement of contrast echocardiography by image variability analysis.

Although there have been recent advances in echocardiography, many studies remain suboptimal due to poor image quality and unclear blood-myocardium border. The authors developed a novel image processing technique, cardiac variability imaging (CVI), based on the variance of pixel intensity values dur...
