Abstract:
The project aims at developing a System for people with Cardiac issues. Computed Tomography Angiography (also called CT angiography or CTA) is a computed tomography technique used to visualize arterial and venous vessels throughout the body while Thallium Scan is a test that uses a radioactive substance (known as a tracer) to produce images of the heart muscle. When combined with an exercise test, the thallium scan helps determine if areas of the heart do not receive enough blood. Then it is checked manually by comparing the results of Thallium Scan and CTA that which part of heart muscle is affected by which part of artery blockage and vice versa. This type of comparison is time consuming and less accurate. The Cardiac C-Thal System accesses databases of both the Systems (CTA and Thallium Scan) acting as a server for our system simultaneously and compares their outputs on runtime, producing its own result and aiding the Cardiologist in finding the actual problem in the heart of the patient. This system provides an intuitive and interactive menu structure that allows the cardiologist to navigate and select different features for finding the actual issue in the heart of the patients. It also tests to evaluate the improvement in their abilities. The purpose is to aid the cardiologist in learning actual reason of the heart attack or cardiac arrest in a more efficient manner and in less time.
