With Artida you can now access and quantify standard parameters such as strain, strain rate or displacement, alongside advanced three-dimensional myocardial motion patterns such as rotation, twist and torsion.

 
 
Wall Motion Tracking 
Speckles, the tiny white spots appearing in ultrasonic images, are interference patterns caused by randomly distributed scatterers. Because speckles follow tissue movement, their motion can be tracked over time by means of pattern recognition. Artida’s wall motion tracking technology follows tissue movement to quantitatively assess myocardial wall motion. 
 

Speckles are identified in each frame by means of pattern recognition. In the adjacent frame the new position of each speckle is determined by an intelligent search-and-match function. The amplitude of movement provides quantitative information about myocardial wall motion
