Cardiac Functional Imaging with a Multi-Element Camera

Abstract

Cardiac functional imaging (CFI) is a technique used to study the heart chambers as they eject blood into the lung (right ventricle) and the systemic circulation (left ventricle) as well as during the ventricular filling period. CFI provides an extremely accurate method to study the heart’s function regionally. Changes during heart contractions (systole) and relaxations (diastole) are visualized in the CFI images.
