Semi-automatic inline calculation of left ventricular function using cardiac MRI (CMR)
Background Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging is increasingly recognized as the gold standard for evaluating left ventricular function (LVF). Measurement of LVF is typically done manually by tracing endocardial and epicardial borders on a stack of short axis (SA) cine images of the heart and is based on the modified Simpson assumption that the left ventricle approximates a spherical shape...
متن کاملManual verses automatic inline ventricular function assessment using MRI
Background Computer-based inline VF software can aid in the quantitative analysis of left ventricular (LV) function. Inline VF automatically locates the LV base and apex, detects endoand epicardial contours in each cardiac slice and phase, and performs a volumetric calculation to determine ejection fraction (EF), end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV). The method presents an oppo...
متن کاملAutomatic Delineation of Left and Right Ventricles in Cardiac MRI Sequences Using a Joint Ventricular Model
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has advanced to become a powerful tool in clinical practice. Extraction of morphological and functional features from cardiac MR imaging for diagnosis and disease monitoring remains a time-consuming task for clinicians. We present a fully automatic approach to extracting the structures and dynamics for both left and right ventricles. The cine short-axis ...
متن کاملUnsupervised Inline Analysis of Cardiac Perfusion MRI
In this paper we first discuss the technical challenges preventing an automated analysis of cardiac perfusion MR images and subsequently present a fully unsupervised workflow to address the problems. The proposed solution consists of key-frame detection, consecutive motion compensation, surface coil inhomogeneity correction using proton density images and robust generation of pixel-wise perfusi...
متن کاملGlobal left ventricular function quantification with CMR 4D Flow
Background 4D MR flow is a rapidly evolving technique, offering both anatomical and functional information in just a single acquisition and if successful, in the future, the 4D flow sequence should replace the 2D MR sequences. The purpose of this study is to use the anatomical information from the 4D flow sequence to assess the global left ventricular function and compare these results with the...
