However, quantification of left ventricular (LV) function from 3D echocardiographic data is performed on cut-planes extracted from the 3D data sets and thus does not fully exploit the volumetric information. Accordingly, we developed a volumetric analysis technique aimed at quantification of global and regional LV function.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold><jats:italic>Methods and Results\u2014<\/jats:italic><\/jats:bold>RT3DE images obtained in 30 patients (Philips 7500) were analyzed by use of custom software based on the level-set approach for semiautomated detection of LV endocardial surface throughout the cardiac cycle, from which global and regional LV volume (LVV)\u2013time and wall motion (WM)\u2013time curves were obtained. The study design included 3 protocols. In protocol 1, time curves obtained in 16 patients were compared point-by-point with MRI data (linear regression and Bland-Altman analyses). Global LVV correlated highly with MRI (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>=0.98;<jats:italic>y<\/jats:italic>=0.99<jats:italic>x<\/jats:italic>+2.3) with minimal bias (1.4 mL) and narrow limits of agreement (\u00b120 mL). WM correlated highly only in basal and midventricular segments (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>=0.88;<jats:italic>y<\/jats:italic>=0.85<jats:italic>x<\/jats:italic>+0.7). In protocol 2, we tested the ability of this technique to differentiate populations with known differences in LV function by studying 9 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and 9 normal subjects. All calculated indices of global and regional systolic and diastolic LV function were significantly different between the groups. In protocol 3, we tested the feasibility of automated detection of regional WM abnormalities in 11 patients. In each segment, abnormality was detected when regional shortening fraction was below a threshold obtained in normal subjects. The automated detection agreed with expert interpretation of 2D WM in 86% of segments.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold><jats:italic>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:italic><\/jats:bold>Volumetric analysis of RT3DE data is clinically feasible and allows fast, semiautomated, dynamic measurement of LVV and automated detection of regional WM abnormalities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/circulationaha.104.513689","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,8,16]],"date-time":"2005-08-16T00:25:39Z","timestamp":1124151939000},"page":"1161-1170","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":197,"title":["Volumetric Quantification of Global and Regional Left Ventricular Function From Real-Time Three-Dimensional Echocardiographic Images"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"112","author":[{"given":"Cristiana","family":"Corsi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the University of Chicago Medical Center, Chicago, Ill (C.C., R.M.L., L.W., P.M., V.M.-A);
