Real-time imaging of skeletal muscle velocity.
PURPOSE To test the feasibility of using real-time phase contrast (PC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to track velocities (1-20 cm/second) of skeletal muscle motion. MATERIALS AND METHODS To do this we modified a fast real-time spiral PC pulse sequence to accommodate through-plane velocity encoding in the range of -20 to +20 cm/second. We successfully imaged motion of the biceps brachii and...
متن کاملReal-time Mr Imaging of Skeletal Muscle Motion
Dynamic imaging techniques, such as cine phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (cine-PC MRI), have made it possible to study muscle, tendon, and bone motion in living human subjects [1,2,3,4]. Cine-PC MRI provides one anatomical image and three velocity images (x, y, and z directions) for each time frame of the motion cycle. The velocity images can be integrated to determine the positions o...
متن کاملSimulation of a Neutron Detector for Real Time Imaging Applications
Monte Carlo Method is used to simulate a double layer gadolinium-amorphous silicon thermal neutron detector. The detector fabricated in pixel array configuration has various applications including neutron imaging. According to the simulation results, a detector consisting of a gadolinium (Gd) film with thickness of 2-4 ~m, sandwiched properly with two layers of sufficiently thick (-30 ?µm) hydr...
متن کاملReal-time shear velocity imaging using sonoelastographic techniques.
In this paper, a novel sonoelastographic technique for estimating local shear velocities from propagating shear wave interference patterns (termed crawling waves) is introduced. A relationship between the local crawling wave spatial phase derivatives and local shear wave velocity is derived with phase derivatives estimated using an autocorrelation technique. Results from homogeneous phantoms de...
متن کاملReal - time Skeletal Animation
and Contributions Skeletal animation is a popular technique in real-time virtual reality applications. It is used to obtain believable yet efficiently computable deformations of 3D objects, such as virtual humans or animals. This thesis aims to study skeletal animation from both practical and theoretical viewpoints. The goal is to provide foundations for next-generation skeletal animation sub-s...
