Cine MRI is an imaging technique for visualizing the left ventricle wall motion in a heart beating cycle. The paper proposed a method to semi-automatically segment the left ventricle (LV) boundaries from a stack of cine MRI and build a LV mesh. The different intensities in the MRI are modeled with the mixture of Gaussian method. The thresholds between them are semi-automatically determined by K-means...
Tagged magnetic resonance imaging (tagged MRI or tMRI) provides a means of directly and noninvasively displaying the internal motion of the myocardium. Reconstruction of the motion field is needed to quantify important clinical information, e.g., the myocardial strain, and detect regional heart functional loss. In this paper, we present a three-step method for this task. First, we use a Gabor filter...
We propose a novel framework to reconstruct the left ventricle (LV)'s 3D surface from sparse tagged-MRI (tMRI). First we acquire an initial surface mesh from a dense tMRI. Then landmarks are calculated both on contours of a specific new tMRI data and on corresponding slices of the initial mesh. Next, we employ several filters including global deformation, local deformation and remeshing to deform...
We propose a novel meshless deformable model for in vivo cardiac left ventricle (LV) 3D motion estimation. As a relatively new technology, tagged MRI (tMRI) provides a direct and noninvasive way to reveal local deformation of the myocardium, which creates a large amount of heart motion data which requiring quantitative analysis. In our study, we sample the heart motion sparsely at intersections of...
