Abstract
The authors´ automated image processing method creates the velocity maps of the small regions of echocardiographic 2D images. The separation and matching of this objects are based on their velocity profiles. The object-oriented programming method allows the handling such a complex problem. The automated analysis showed a good performance comparing with the traditional wall motion detection: the specificity of computer scoring was 84.4%, the sensitivity 81.2%
