TSI Measurements
Each sample in the TSI image represents the time to the
maximum
velocity within the chosen TSI search interval from
TSI Start to TSI End (page 5-37).
There are two automatic TSI time to peak measurement tools:
• Generic TSI Time to peak measurement: displays the TSI
value at the location point set by the user.
• Segmental TSI Time to peak measurement: measures the
time to peak velocity in specific wall segments and gets
automatically calculated TSI indexes based on these
measurements. The measurements may be presented in a
color coded Bull's eye diagram.
Alternatively, time to peak measurement can be done in
Q Analysis by manually measuring the time between the QRS
marker and the peak velocity on the velocity trace.
Generic Time to peak measurement
1. Acquire a TSI apical loop.
2. Press Measure.
3. In the Measurement menu, select Generic and Time to
peak (see Figure 8-5).
The TSI loop freezes at the TSI end frame.
4. Place a point in the middle of a basal or mid-level
myocardial segment in the TSI image.
The Time to peak and Peak velocity values for the segment
are displayed in the Measurement result window.
NOTE: To judge the quality of your data at the measuring point in
the 2D image the TSI trace may be used (see ‘TSI trace’ on
page 8-14). See also the Caution text on page 8-17.
