Abstract
Example methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to process cardiac images to detect heart motion abnormalities are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes using a filter coefficient based on a plurality of cardiac images to characterize motion of a heart; computing an information-theoretic metric from the filter coefficient; and comparing the information-theoretic metric to a threshold to determine whether the motion of the heart is abnormal.
