Quantifying LV Function: Can We Do Strain with Stress?

A timely patient care plan is critical for you and your patients. cSound™, a new image-processing platform takes cardiovascular ultrasound to a higher level by providing robust quantification tools that may help enhance your diagnostic confidence.

Automated Function Imaging™ (AFI) objectively analyzes myocardial wall motion to help users confirm diagnoses and support treatment decisions with a reliable & reproducible tool. As part of the GE healthymagination validation process, studies identified the potential for this tool to:

Reduce costs^1,2
Prediction of cardiotoxicity in chemotheraphy patients¹
Prediction of mortality vs standard echo methods in patients with known or suspected LV impairment³

With the powerful cSound™ platform , AFI can now be utilized in stress studies. AFI Stress protocols now acquires standard 2D apical views and quantify both longitudinal, segmental and global wall motion assessment at each stress level.
