Towards automated evaluation of left atrial transit time
Background Left atrial transit time (LATT) has potential to approximate left ventricular end diastolic pressure noninvasively. Small artifacts are often present in the down-slope portion of the time-intensity curve most likely due to poor SNR resulting from relatively low contrast dosing. While easily circumvented by experienced operator the artifact presents a challenge to automated detection ...
متن کاملA Semi-Automated Algorithm for Segmentation of the Left Atrial Appendage Landing Zone: Application in Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Procedures
Background: Mechanical occlusion of the Left atrial appendage (LAA) using a purpose-built device has emerged as an effective prophylactic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation at risk of stroke and a contraindication for anticoagulation. A crucial step in procedural planning is the choice of the device size. This is currently based on the manual analysis of the “Device Landing Zone” fr...
متن کاملLeft ventricular filling pressure assessment using left atrial transit time by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
BACKGROUND Left atrial (LA) size and function reflect left ventricular (LV) hemodynamics. In the present study, we developed a novel method to determine LA circulation transit time (LATT) by MRI and demonstrated its close association with LV filling pressure. METHODS AND RESULTS All subjects were prospectively recruited and underwent contrast-enhanced MR dynamic imaging. Mean LATT was determi...
متن کاملAssessment of left ventricular filling pressure using mean left atrial transit time from contrast enhanced dynamic MRI
Methods Ten subjects undergoing clinically indicated right and left heart catheterization and 48 subjects undergoing noninvasive evaluation were prospectively enrolled and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal proBNP (NT proBNP) obtained prior to CMR examination. CMR was performed within 5 hrs of invasive hemodynamic assessment. Dynamic MR imaging was acquired in sagittal and coronal p...
متن کاملTowards automated model calibration and validation in rail transit simulation
The benefit of modeling and simulation in rail transit operations has been demonstrated in various studies. However, the complex dynamics involved and the ever-changing environment in which rail systems evolve expose the limits of classical simulation. Changing environmental conditions and second order dynamics challenge the validity of the models and seriously reduce model (re-)usability. This...
