Image Optimization 5-39
Velocity-time curve;
Strain-time curve;
Strain rate-time curve.
Strain: Deformation and displacement of the tissue within the specified time.
Strain rate: speed of the deformation, as myocardial variability will result in velocity gradient,
strain rate is used commonly to evaluate how fast the tissue is deforming.
Procedures:
1. Scan the image with the moves of myocardium on, freeze the image and select the scan scope, or
open the iamge which includes the myocardium moves already.
NOTE:
The current image (in frozen state) and the saved image can be used in the quantitative
analysis.
Only after the user chooses the image review, the quanatitive analysis is available.If the user
chooses the static image (only one frame), the quanatitive analysis is not available.
2. Tap [TDI Quanatitive Analysis] or press the user-defined key <TDI Quanatitive Analysis> to enable
the function.
3. Mark the interested myocardium area.
4. Select the curve: tap [Speed], [Strain] or [Strain Rate].
5. Save the curves, and export the curve data, parameter data.
6. Exit the quanatitive analysis.
Tap [Exit].

Sampling area: indicates the sampling position of the curve. The sampling lines are marked with color
numbers. It can mark 8 ROIs at most.
