Motion guided segmentation of the right ventricle for 3D cine DENSE MRI
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Cine displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) provides quantitative imaging of tissue motion with high spatial resolution. Recent results have demonstrated that 3D cine DENSE provides resolution sufficient to quantify the mechanics of the right ventricle (RV) [1]. However, RV analysis currently requires manual anatomical delineation on all cine frames. This research extends motion guided segmentation methods [2,3] to the RV, requiring manual delineation of anatomy on only a single cine frame.

Quantifying right ventricular motion and strain using 3D cine DENSE MRI
Background The RV is difficult to image because of its thin wall, asymmetric geometry and complex motion. DENSE is a quantitative MRI technique for measuring myocardial displacement and strain at high spatial and temporal resolutions [1,2]. DENSE encodes tissue displacement directly into the image phase, allowing for the direct extraction of motion data at a pixel resolution. A free-breathing n...
متن کاملMapping right ventricular myocardial mechanics using 3D cine DENSE cardiovascular magnetic resonance
BACKGROUND The mechanics of the right ventricle (RV) are not well understood as studies of the RV have been limited. This is, in part, due to the RV's thin wall, asymmetric geometry and irregular motion. However, the RV plays an important role in cardiovascular function. This study aims to describe the complex mechanics of the healthy RV using three dimensional (3D) cine displacement encoding w...
متن کاملAutomated cardiac motion estimation from 3D Cine DENSE MRI
Background 3D cine displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) directly encodes tissue displacement into MR phase data, providing a comprehensive 3D view of cardiac motion and strain. Unfortunately, 3D cine DENSE motion analysis presently requires manually delineated anatomy. An automated analysis would reduce interobserver variability, improve measurement throughput, and simplify data...
متن کاملSemi-automated left ventricular segmentation based on a guide point model approach for 3D cine DENSE cardiovascular magnetic resonance
BACKGROUND The most time consuming and limiting step in three dimensional (3D) cine displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) MR image analysis is the demarcation of the left ventricle (LV) from its surrounding anatomical structures. The aim of this study is to implement a semi-automated segmentation algorithm for 3D cine DENSE CMR using a guide point model approach. METHODS A 3D m...
متن کاملComprehensive assessment of myocardial mechanics in mice using 3D cine DENSE
Methods A multiphasic volumetric spiral cine DENSE sequence with 3D displacement encoding was implemented on a small-bore 7T MRI system (Clinscan, Bruker). Magnitude and phase images were reconstructed online, and semiautomatic segmentation methods followed by automatic strain, twist, and torsion calculations were implemented offline. Seven healthy C57Bl/6 mice were studied. For imaging, mice w...
