Enhancement of contrast echocardiography by image variability analysis.

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...
