A web-based tool for cardiac dyssynchrony assessment on ultrasound data

Abstract

Comunicació presentada al congrés Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine que va tenir lloc el 7 i 8 de setembre a Bremen, Alemanya.Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a broadly used therapy in patients that suffers from heart failure (HF). The positive outcome of CRT depends strongly on the parameters criteria used to select patients and a lot of research has been done to introduce new and more reliable parameters. In this paper we propose an interactive tool to perform visual assessment and measurements on cardiac ultrasound images of patient with cardiac dyssynchrony. The tool is developed as a web application, allowing doctors to remotely access images and measurements.The authors acknowledge the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration (VP2HF FP7-2013-611823 and MEDIA FP7- HEALTH- 2010-261409), the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (TIN2012-35874) and the Maria de Maeztu Units of Excellence Programme (MDM-2015-0502)
