Abstract:

Echocardiography analysis technique has played an important role in correctly establishing the diagnosis. Moreover, microbubbles (MB) or contrast agent was designed to cross the pulmonary capillary beds into the left ventricle so as to allow the left ventricular contrast enhancement and to study its microcirculation. In this study we computed density distribution MB in the left ventricle (LV) between the frames end-systole and end-diastole for two diagnoses, pulmonary hypertension and one that attest a healthy LV. The process of evaluating the MB was computed inside the LV cavity using density distribution in function by radius of MB experimented in pixels.

Keywords:

echocardiography, microbubbles, density distribution, pulmonary hypertension.
