Fully automatic planning of the long-axis views of the heart
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background MR imaging of the heart typically involves the acquisition of standard views aligned with the heart axes. Timeefficient and reproducible planning requires expertise in heart geometry and anatomy. In this study, we evaluate the ability of fully automatic heart view localization software to detect the long-axis views of the heart and compare the results both visually and geometrically with manual localization.

متن کاملAutomatic View Planning for Cardiac MRI Acquisition
Conventional cardiac MRI acquisition involves a multi-step approach, requiring a few double-oblique localizers in order to locate the heart and prescribe long- and short-axis views of the heart. This approach is operator-dependent and time-consuming. We propose a new approach to automating and accelerating the acquisition process to improve the clinical workflow. We capture a highly accelerated...

Background & Aims: One of the important aims of quantitative cardiac image processing is the clarification of myocardial motions in order to derive biomechanical behavior of the heart in the disease condition. In this study we presented a computerized analysis method for detecting the instantaneous myocardial changes by using 2D echocardiography images. Methods: The analysis was performed on th...
متن کاملFully automatic segmentation of short and long axis cine cardiac MR
Introduction Quantitative analysis of cardiac function requires delineation of the left ventricle (LV) in cine cardiac MR (CMR). Typically, this is done using short-axis (SA) images, however, acquisition of several long-axis (LA) views has become quite common. The latter can be used for the accurate and reproducible determination of the basal SA slice, known as one of the major inter-observer v...

Mullerian duct anomalies are an uncommon but often treatable cause of infertility. Patients with müllerian duct anomalies are known to have a higher incidence of infertility, repeated first-trimester spontaneous abortions, fetal intrauterine growth retardation, fetal malposition, preterm labor, and retained placenta. The role of imaging is to help detect, diagnose, and distinguish surgically co...
