Automatic left ventricular analysis with Inline VF performs well compared to manual analysis: results from Barts Cardiovascular Registry

چکیده
Background Manual left ventricular (LV) volumes and function analysis is time consuming and operator dependent. Automated and semi-automated LV analysis tools could be helpful, especially in high volume clinical and research centres. Inline VF (Siemens) is a fully-automated assessment tool performing LV volume analysis during scan acquisition. The aims of this study were: 1) to assess performance of Inline VF against manual analysis of LV volumes and function, 2) to derive conversion formulas from linear regression models and 3) to validate adjusted Inline VF parameters to ascertain whether this improves accuracy of the automated method.

Manual 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 کاملSemi-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...

BACKGROUND T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is clinically-useful for imaging the ischemic area-at-risk and amount of salvageable myocardium in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). However, to date, quantification of oedema is user-defined and potentially subjective. METHODS We describe a highly automatic framework for quantifying myocardial oedema from bright blo...
