Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleMyocardial Motion Analysis of Echocardiography Images using Optical Flow Radial Direction DistributionSlamet Riyadi, Mohd Marzuki Mustafa, Aini HussainProblem statement: Myocardial motion is important information for physicians in diagnosing cardiac abnormalities. The motion vector of myocardial can be computed using optical flow technique, which then can be further analyzed based on its magnitude and angle. In practice, physicians are not concern about the angle of vector itself, but are more interested on whether a segment is moving to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 6,637 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleSegmentation Methods of Echocardiography Images for Left Ventricle Boundary DetectionSamaneh Mazaheri, Rahmita Wirza, Puteri Suhaiza Sulaiman et al.Due to acoustic interferences and artifacts which are inherent in echocardiography images, automatic segmentation of anatomical structures in cardiac ultrasound images is a real challenge. This paper surveys state-of-the-art researches on echocardiography data segmentation methods, concentrating on methods techniques developed for clinical data. We present a classification of methodologies for echocardiography image segmentation. By choosing ten recent papers which have … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 6 Dec 2015 · 7,062 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleMeasurements of Mitral Annular Displacement in 2D Echocardiography ImagesFaten A. Dawood, Rahmita W. Rahmat, Suhaini B. Kadiman et al.Mitral Annular Displacement (MAD) in echocardiography has been described as a variation in mitral annulus position between the end-diastolic and the end-systolic in a complete cardiac cycle. It could be used as a rapid and reproducible method of determining the LV global systolic function and could be an easily detectable index for wall motion abnormalities. In this study, a computational … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 5 · 4 Jul 2015 · 6,853 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAutomatic Boundary Detection of Wall Motion in Two-dimensional Echocardiography ImagesFaten Abed Ali Dawood, Rahmita Wirza Rahmat, Mohd Zamrin Dimon et al.Problem statement: Medical image analysis is a particularly difficult problem because the inherent characteristics of these images, including low contrast, speckle noise, signal dropouts and complex anatomical structures. An accurate analysis of wall motion in Two-dimensional echocardiography images is “important clinical diagnosis parameter for many cardiovascular diseases”. A challenge most researchers faced is how to speed up the clinical decisions … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 15 Jul 2011 · 8,192 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCAVITY SEGMENTATION AND STROKE VOLUME MEASUREMENT METHODS FROM ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC IMAGES: REVIEWAnas A. Abboud, Rahmita Wirza Rahmat, Suhaini Bin Kadiman et al.The complexity and criticality of heart disease diagnosis and treatment have frequently attracted the attention of researchers to develop approaches that can handle accurate clinical assessments. One of these complexities is measuring the Right Ventricle stroke volume. Therefore, different cardiac imaging techniques have been developed to help specialists in their regular clinical work and in the operating theatre to assist … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 20 Dec 2014 · 8,416 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVoice Activation Visualization for Echocardiograph and 3D Angiographic Images in SurgeryRahmita W. Rahmat, Mohd Z. Dimon, Zinah R. Hussein, Hasan H. KhalilIn some cases, surgeons need to navigate through the computer system for reconfirmation patients’ details and unfortunately surgeons unable to manage both computer system and operation at the same time. In this paper we propose a solution for this problem especially designed for heart surgeon, by introducing voice activation system with 3D visualization of Angiographic images, 2D visualization of Echocardiography … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 9 Oct 2012 · 8,304 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAutomatic Detection of the End-Diastolic and End-Systolic from 4D Echocardiographic ImagesAnas A. Abboud, Rahmita Wirza Rahmat, Suhaini Bin Kadiman et al.Accurate detection of the End-Diastolic (ED) and End-Systolic (ES) frames of a cardiac cycle are significant factors that may affect the accuracy of abnormality assessment of a ventricle. This process is a routine step of the ventricle assessment procedure as most of the time in clinical reports many parameters are measured in these two frames to help in diagnosing and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 25 Aug 2014 · 8,506 accessesView PDF Cite
