Abstract
A regurgitant orifice of a valve is detected. The valve is detected from ultrasound data. An anatomical model of the valve is fit to the ultrasound data. This anatomical model may be used in various ways to assist in valvular assessment. The model may define anatomical locations about which data is sampled for quantification. The model may assist in detection of the regurgitant orifice using both B-mode and color Doppler flow data with visualization without the jet. Segmentation of a regurgitant jet for the orifice may be constrained by the model. Dynamic information may be determined based on the modeling of the valve over time.
