Elastographic imaging of heart tissue may be used to provide strain images by mapping strain magnitude to brightness and strain sign to hue and thus provide improved clinical indication of compression and distension of heart muscle. An areal cursor may be used to obtain quantitative measurements of a strain at predetermined periods in the heart cycle. Multiple area measurements of strain may be combined to provide a quantitative index of cardiac health.

Selon l'invention, l'imagerie par élastographie des tissus cardiaques peut être utilisée afin d'obtenir des images de déformation par mappage de la magnitude de déformation par rapport à la luminosité et de signes de déformation par rapport aux nuances de teintes, et ainsi d'obtenir des indications cliniques améliorées de compression et de distension du muscle cardiaque. Un curseur de surface peut être utilisé pour obtenir des mesures quantitatives d'une déformation à des périodes prédéterminées dans le cycle cardiaque. Plusieurs mesures de surface peuvent être combinées afin d'obtenir un indice quantitatif de la santé cardiaque.
