An inexpensive computer-aided system for quantitative echocardiography

Abstract

A comprehensive system has been developed to quantitatively analyze standard M‐mode pediatric echocardiograms. It utilizes relatively inexpensive hardware together with a telephone coupling to a time‐sharing computer. A complete patient report on the study is printed out upon completion, and all the data are digitally stored for future research computations. Initial and operating costs for this system are significantly less than for any comparable one available.
