Key result
Quantitative 2D TEE texture analysis proves feasible for detecting abnormal myocardium in myocardial contusion.
Why the study?
Myocardial contusion following blunt chest trauma lacks specific symptoms and existing techniques have limited efficiency to characterize it accurately.
Does quantitative texture analysis of 2D TEE echocardiograms accurately differentiate normal from abnormal myocardial wall in acute myocardial contusion?

Quantitative texture analysis of 2D TEE is a feasible technique for characterizing acute myocardial contusion and differentiating abnormal from normal myocardial wall.

Feasible in animal contusion model; leaves open human TEE translation and requires clinical validation.
Myocardial contusion (MC) is a common injury following blunt chest trauma without any specific symptoms.Several techniques such as electrocardiogram, estimation of myocardial band fraction of creatine phosphokinase, chest radiography and the scintiscanning missed efficiency to characterize the MC.Another technique based on transesophageal echocardiography [TEE] allows to visualize the structures of the heart with a good spatial resolution.We postulated that the quantitative texture analysis of regional image texture in two- dimensional [2D] TEE echocardiograms would be an accurate method to differentiate normal from abnormal myocardial wall.This preliminary experimental study demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed technique.
