چکیده
X. Deng, T. S. Denney Jr Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama, United States Synopsis We present a rapid unsupervised method, called rapid UNTETHER, for computing three-dimensional (3D) myocardial strain from planar tagged cardiac MR images. Our method consisted of two steps: tag line tracking and strain reconstruction. The tag line tracking algorithm is based on a spatial tag detector and a modified 1D harmonic phase (HARP) π isocontour tracking algorithm. 3D myocardial strains are reconstructed using a cylindrical B-spline deformation model. Experimental results from ten human imaging studies (5 normal volunteers, 5 patients) demonstrate that our method is reproducible and can reconstruct 3D end-systolic circumferential shortening strain from tagged images accurately in 90 seconds.

Phase-Driven Finite Element Model for Spatio-temporal Tracking in Cardiac Tagged MRI
MRI tissue tagging[1] of the heart produces noninvasive markers within the muscle wall that can be used to measure motion and deformation (Fig. 1a). However, the widespread use of tissue tagging has been limited by time-consuming image post-processing. This paper outlines a method for automatic 3D tracking of LV motion from 2D MRI images acquired from multiple views. Since the tags form a repet...
متن کاملReconstruction of Detailed Left Ventricle Motion from tMRI Using Deformable Models
We present a system that reconstructs the 3D motion of the left ventricle (LV) for a full cardiac cycle using a deformable model built from tagged MR images. Two sets of cues are drawn from tagged MRI. The intersections of the three tagging planes, and the intersections of the LV boundary and the tagging planes, are interpolated onto the mesh vertices. We implement a deformable model to track t...
متن کاملUnsupervised Computation of Left Ventricular Strain from Tagged Cardiac MR Images
Introduction: Cardiac MR tagging is a promising technique for non-invasively measuring the regional mechanical function (strain) in the left ventricular wall, but existing image analysis techniques require user supervised identification of myocardial contours in each image in the study (typically 200 images). These contours are used both in the tag tracking process to defme the region of intere...

The objective of this study was to validate a deformable image registration technique, termed Hyperelastic Warping, for left ventricular strain measurement during systole using cine-gated, non-tagged MR images with strains measured from tagged MRI. The technique combines deformation from high resolution, non-tagged MR image data with a detailed computational model, including estimated myocardia...
