EchoAnalyzer - a system for three-dimensional echocardiographic visualization and quantification

Abstract The analysis software for three-dimensional (3D) echocardiographic data developed at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) is described in this paper. The system includes functions for two- and three-dimensional visualization of the morphology and/or the Doppler information and quantification of cavity volumes, ejection fraction, cardiac output and regurgitant volume. The design and functionality of the system are discussed. After successful completion of the internal tests, the software will be available for multicenter evaluation.
