Regional Quantification of Myocardial Stiffness Using MR Elastography
Introduction: The mechanical properties of the myocardium are known to be essential for normal cardiac function [1-4]. Myocardial stiffness is known to be a highly significant diagnostic and prognostic metric in myocardial infarction. Ex vivo stretching techniques are performed without in vivo loading conditions, and without in vivo myocardial geometry, hence they are not applicable clinically....
متن کاملQuantification of aortic stiffness using MR elastography and its comparison to MRI-based pulse wave velocity.
PURPOSE To determine the correlation in abdominal aortic stiffness obtained using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) (μ(MRE)) and MRI-based pulse wave velocity (PWV) shear stiffness (μ(PWV)) estimates in normal volunteers of varying age, and also to determine the correlation between μ(MRE) and μ(PWV). MATERIALS AND METHODS In vivo aortic MRE and MRI were performed on 21 healthy volunteers ...
متن کاملFinite element formulation for shear modulus reconstruction in transient elastography
In order to image the shear modulus in soft tissue, for medical diagnosis, given one component of measured displacements as a function of time on an imaging plane, two related direct finite element-based inversion algorithms are presented. One algorithm is based on the governing equations expressed in the frequency domain, and the other is in the time domain. The algorithms consider the complet...
متن کاملA Robust Numerical Method for Stokes Equations Based on Divergence-Free H(div) Finite Element Methods
A computational method based on a divergence-free H(div) approach is presented for the Stokes equations in this article. This method is designed to find velocity approximation in an exact divergence-free subspace of the corresponding H(div) finite element space. That is, the continuity equation is strongly enforced a priori and the pressure is eliminated from the linear system in calculation. A...
متن کاملTissue stiffness estimation using gaussian filters for prostate MR elastography
Introduction Manual palpation through digital rectal examination is an established method for prostate cancer screening. Unfortunately, the technique is highly subjective and has limited spatial resolution. Prostate MR Elastography (MRE) could address these shortcomings by mapping stiffness throughout the entire gland. Recent work suggests that intracavitary approaches using transurethral actua...
