Title
Shape-based similarity retrieval of Doppler images for clinical decision support
Abstract
Flow Doppler imaging has become an integral part of an echocardiographic exam. Automated interpretation of flow doppler imaging has so far been restricted to obtain- ing hemodynamic information from velocity-time profiles depicted in these images. In this paper we exploit the shape patterns in Doppler images to infer the similarity in valvu- lar disease labels for purposes of automated clinical deci- sion support. Specifically, we model the similarity in ap- pearance of Doppler images from the same disease class as a constrained non-rigid translation transform of the veloc- ity envelopes embedded in these images. The shape simi- larity between two Doppler images is then judged by recov- ering the alignment transform using a variant of dynamic shape warping. Results of similarity retrieval of doppler images for cardiac decision support on a large database of images are presented.
