A main limitation is the lack of multiparametric normality models oriented to the assessment of regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA). This paper covers two main topics involved in RWMA assessment. We propose a general framework allowing the fusion and comparison across subjects of different regional scores. Our framework is used to explore which combination of regional scores (including 2-D motion and strains) is better suited for RWMA detection. Our statistical analysis indicates that for a proper (within interobserver variability) identification of RWMA, models should consider motion and extreme strains.", optnote="IAM", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=1507), last updated on Thu, 22 May 2014 17:30:34 +0200", issn="0278-0062", doi="10.1109/TMI.2009.2034653", file=":http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/GGH2009.pdf:PDF" }
