摘要:
CAD (computer-aided diagnosis) systems and applications for cardiac imagingare provided, which implement methods to automatically extract and analyzefeatures from a collection of patient information (including image data and/ornon-image data) of a subject patient, to provide decision support for variousaspects of physician workflow including, for example, automated assessment ofregional myocardial function through wall motion analysis, automated diagnosisof heart diseases and conditions such as cardiomyopathy, coronary arterydisease and other heart-related medical conditions, and other automateddecision support functions. The CAD systems implement machine-learningtechniques that use a set of training data obtained (learned) from a databaseof labeled patient cases in one or more relevant clinical domains and/orexpert interpretations of such data to enable the CAD systems to "learn" toanalyze patient data and make proper diagnostic assessments and decisions forassisting physician workflow.
