First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for displaying tissue motion information, the method comprising:
- determining a first motion characteristic of tissue within a body;
comparing the first motion characteristic to a first reference motion characteristic;
determining a difference as a function of the comparison; and
displaying information as a function of the difference.

Abstract
A difference between a detected motion and a reference motion is automatically displayed. The reference motion is a modeled motion of an organ, a base line motion of an organ or another portion of an organ. A deviation in motion amplitude, angle or both angle and amplitude from a reference set may more easily identify abnormal or normal motion of the organ.
