Key result
Automatic border detection proves feasible and reproducible for evaluating LV diastolic function in neonates.
Why the study?
Does automatic border detection provide feasible and reproducible assessment of LV diastolic function compared to Doppler echocardiography in normal neonates?
Observational (n=17)

Automatic border detection is a feasible and reproducible method for serial evaluation of LV diastolic function in neonates, though it measures different aspects of filling compared to standard Doppler.

Supports serial LV diastolic monitoring in neonates; leaves open validation against Doppler and clinical outcomes.
Tighe et al. (1998) conducted an observational in Normal neonates (n=17). Automatic border detection (ABD) vs. Doppler echocardiography was evaluated on Left ventricular diastolic function parameters. Automatic border detection was a feasible and reproducible method for evaluating left ventricular diastolic function in neonates, with mean interobserver variation ranging from 0% to 11%.
