ULTRASOUND ASSESSMENT OF CARDIAC SYNCHRONICITY AND VITALITY Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B8/08 G01S7/52 G06T7/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment, namely to ultrasound diagnostic systems of image formation. Device contains probe, made with possibility of transmitting ultrasound waves in heart and receiving response echo-signals, image processor, reacting on echo-signals, made with possibility of producing succession of myocardium images within, at least, part of cardiac cycle, analyser of myocardium movement, reacting on succession of images, which determines movement of multitude of myocardium segments, processor of engagement, reacting on movement of segments, produced by indicator of collective participation of multitude of segments as percentage of complete displacement of myocardium during cardiac cycle and relative intervals of time of participation of segments in myocardium movement relative to percentage of complete displacement during cardiac cycle, and display, connected with processor of engagement, which reflects indicator.

EFFECT: application of invention makes it possible to increase efficiency and accuracy of identification of loss of synchronicity in myocardium movement.
