More Information
Summary:An image processing apparatus for evaluating cardiac images and a ventricular status identification method are provided. In the method, a region of interest (ROI) is determined from multiple target images, a variation in grayscale values of multiple pixels in the ROIs of each target image is determined, and one or more representative images are obtained according to the variation in the grayscale values. The target image is related to the pixels within an endocardial contour of a left ventricle. A boundary of the ROI is approximately located at two sides of a bottom of the endocardial contour. The ROI corresponds to a mitral valve. The variation in the grayscale values is related to a motion of the mitral valve. The representative image is for evaluating a status of the left ventricle.
