Adaptive image inversion of contrast 3D echocardiography for enabling automated analysis
Contrast 3d echocardiography suffers from high speckle. The automated analysis from contrast 3d echocardiography is a difficult task. Contrast image inversion is proposed to match appearance with non-contrast image. An automatic threshold estimation method is proposed to enable image inversion. The contrast image inversion enables LV segmentation using non-contrast methods.
