摘要: Objective. To validate the harmonic-fundamental frequency ratio peak for user-independent differentiation of myocardial perfusion under clinically relevant levels signal attenuation. Methods. Radio data were obtained by using apical long-axis scans in 11 open-chest pigs during continuous infusion a contrast agent after left anterior descending artery occlusion. Silicone pads interposed between transducer and heart to simulate thoracic wall Samples image from perfused nonperfused regions collected; values conventional harmonic gray scale intensity techniques calculated. Results. At each attenuation level, value myocardium was higher than that (P <.0001). The variance these smaller <.0001), with overlap differentiating regions. In receiver operating characteristic curves, this analysis had better diagnostic performance analysis. optimal cutoff value, provided 87% sensitivity 91% specificity; 80% 78% specificity. Conclusions. Harmonic-fundamental differentiated conditions specificity determination attenuated did
