Evaluation of the microcirculation on perfusion-phase analysis of ultrasound contrast echocardiography using intuitive and easy-to-use software tools

The principal idea of these software tools is to endow the cardiologists with an appropriate ability covering all their necessities, looking for the detection and analyze of the interesting regions of the myocardium under consideration. To be exactly, the study of the microcirculation in the walls of the myocardium lead us to the analysis of ultrasound contrast echocardiography on perfusion phase after the administration of the adequate contrast agent. The specialists have enough and complete instrumentation to get myocardial contrast echocardiography, but the possibility of analysing is reduced. There are several techniques to detect the infarction area, but the facility to quantify its level of damage (necrosis) by specific data is still limited nowadays. These programs offer the user a complete capacity to display different parameters on perfusion images. This is the lack that covers the software presented in this article together with the results obtained using them during the evaluation of the microvasculation.
