Artida provides unique 2D Wall Motion Tracking.
With just three mouse clicks, Artida traces the
­endocardium and epicardium automatically in the
2D data sets. Each can be analyzed separately
or together for strain and ejection fraction.
2 D wall motion tracking can be used to
look at the myocardium transmurally and is
achieved with just three clicks.
Transmural view
Inner and outer portions of the left ventricle can be viewed separately or transmurally.
2D mapping
Transmural 2D strain of the myocardium is assessed automatically and visually easy to follow.

Transmural 2D tracking of the myocardium is
sensitive to the effects of myocardial ischemia
and can assess subendocardial function.
Assess myocardial function
in 3D fast and reliably.
Based on 3D WMT, Area Tracking delivers one
­robust and easy-to-interpret parameter to describe
the global performance of cardiac segments. Area
Tracking reflects 3D strain on the endocardial
­surface and has outstanding clinical value for routine
echo, as well as for advanced applications such as
stress echo or CRT.
A rea Tracking automatically assesses the
­dynamics of myocardial contraction on the
­endocardial surface with high temporal
­resolution.
A rea Tracking delivers a global or segmental
­performance index representing the contractility
of the endocardium.
A rea Tracking is easy-to-use, highly ­
reproducible and even applicable to single
beat 4D acquisitions.
Area Tracking
Area Tracking reflects the change in size of the endocardial surface
during LV contraction, providing a robust and easy-to-interpret measure
of myocardial contractility in 3D.
Anterior infarction
Reduced strain and a delayed peak – visible
in both segmental graph and bull’s eye plot – clearly
separate hypo-contractile from viable m
­ yocardium.
