CLASSIFICATION OF INTRACARDIAC TUMOR AND THROMBI

DETECTION OF TUMOR AND THROMBI

Intracardiac masses are hazardous in cardiovascular disease. Generally, they are abnormal structures within or immediately adjacent to the heart, which must be distinguished for diagnosis. Two main types of intracardiac masses are tumor and thrombus. Identification of intracardiac masses in echocardiograms is one important task in cardiac disease diagnosis. To improve diagnosis accuracy, a novel fully automatic classification method based on the sparse representation is proposed to distinguish intracardiac tumor and thrombi in echocardiography.

The tumors show continuity with the atrial wall, with a high degree of mobility, as shown. The echocardiographic appearances of the thrombi are motionless, dense, ovoid, and echo reflecting mass with a broad base of attachment to the endocardium.
