Wall motion scoring
Wall motion scoring is used to evaluate wall motion in each
cardiac segment. The left ventricle myocardium is divided into
a number of segments (e.g. 16 or 18), and each segment is
assigned a score based on visual evaluation/"eye-balling". The
wall motion scoring results are linked to the stress level of the
image being evaluated. This means that for instance when
scoring a short axis projection and a long axis projection from
the same stress level, then common segments with the same
scoring value will be shown in the respective scoring diagrams.
