Stress Echo analysis
Stress Echo analysis consists of viewing previously saved loops
and assigning scores to each cardiac segment, in order to
quantify the function of the muscle, or wall motion.
Depending on the protocol configuration, the analysis stage can
be started automatically after completion of the stress test or it
can be started manually. In this case, the usual procedure
consists of sequentially opening all image groups (if defined)
and perform scoring from image to image.
The quad screen is the standard display for comparing heart
cycles (Figure 7-8). The heart cycle loops in the display are
synchronized to enable comparison. Each loop in the quad
screen can be magnified, using the zoom control.
Image selection for analysis
Images can be selected manually or from a pre-defined group in
the Protocol screen.
Selection of images from a group
If groups of images have been defined in the protocol template
(page 7-29), the user can select a group of images for analysis
and sequentially analyze all images from all groups from within
the Analysis screen (Figure 7-8 on page 7-18).
1. In a stress examination, press Protocol.
A preview of the acquisitions is displayed.
2. Trackball to a group in the Group list.
The frame of the images belonging to the group are
highlighted.
NOTE: Pressing Analyze (while no images are selected in Protocol
screen) will automatically open the first group of images in
Analyze screen.
3. Press Select to open images in the Analyze screen (see
page 7-18).
