Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a system () for scoring motion of a heart wall (). The system () includes an imaging system () operable to acquire a first image () of the heart wall () at a first time and a second image () of the heart wall () at a second time. A processor () is provided to identify a first set of contour data in the first image (); and a second set of contour data in the second image (). The processor () defines at least one element (Ei) representing a cardiac cyclic change in a section of the heart wall () in dependence on the first and second sets of contour data. Each element (Ei) is analysed to generate at least one metric which is compared with a reference data model to score the motion of the corresponding section of the heart wall (). The disclosure also relates to a method of scoring motion of a heart wall (); and a non-transitory computer-readable medium.
