Detection of Myocardial Scars in Neonatal Infants from Computerized Echocardiographic Texture Analysis
Abstract
It has been demonstrated that highly reflectile echoes (HREs) on standard echocardiograms may represent foci of myocardial fibrosis, calcification, or infiltration. A pilot study of the echocardiograms of premature infants by our group has indicated the presence of HREs in many stressed infants. We have subsequently shown that these HREs correspond to myocardial scarring or necrosis. By studying normal two-dimensional echocardiograms and those …
