Abstract
Multiscale Motion Mapping ("Triple-M imaging") is a novel imaging modality for the measurement of motion in echocardiograms. In contrary to Tissue Doppler Imaging or endocardial border-detection algorithms, the use of all the available grayscale information yields quantitative motion maps which are neither angle-dependent nor limited to endocardial visibility. To test the feasibility of detecting abnormal motion in stress echos, echo data from various stress states in experimental myocardial infarction in an animal model (6 mongrel dogs) was analyzed in non-infarcted and infarcted segments.
