Automatic per-segment analysis of myocardial perfusion MRI
Background We have previously proposed an automatic solution to calculate semi-quantitative measurbes of myocardial perfusion and to present them to the user as parametric maps. Such maps have high spatial resolution which can potentially be an advantage when evaluating small regions of myocardium. On the other hand, per-segment analyses potentially benefit from higher SNR and improved clarity ...
متن کاملAutomatic Characterization of Myocardial Perfusion in Contrast Enhanced MRI
The use of contrast medium in cardiac MRI allows joining the high-resolution anatomical information provided by standard magnetic resonance with functional information obtained by means of the perfusion of contrast agent in myocardial tissues. The current approach to perfusion MRI characterization is the qualitative one, based on visual inspection of images. Moving to quantitative analysis requ...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion SPECT: Perfusion quantification
Different software tools for quantification of myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) studies are routinely used. Several perfusion parameters can be computed automatically. Interpretation of the MPS should start with visual inspection of the rotating planar images, visual analysis of reconstructed SPECT slices and then quantitative analysis to confirm the visual impression. Quantification should be...
متن کاملAutomatic Assessment of Cardiac Perfusion MRI
In this paper, a method based on Active Appearance Models (AAM) is applied for automatic registration of myocardial perfusion MRI. A semi-quantitative perfusion assessment of the registered image sequences is presented. This includes the formation of perfusion maps for three parameters; maximum up-slope, peak and time-to-peak.
متن کاملNonrigid registration of myocardial perfusion MRI
This paper describes a fully automatic registration of 10 multi-slice myocardial perfusion magnetic resonance image sequences. The registration of these sequences is crucial for the clinical interpretation, which currently is subjected to manual labour. The approach used in this study is a nonrigid registration algorithm based on free-form deformations due to Rueckert et al. Inspection of diffe...
