Manual verses automatic inline ventricular function assessment using MRI

چکیده
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 opportunity to reduce data processing time and hence reporting time. We compare three methods of postprocessing: automatic, semi-automatic, and manual.

Semi-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...
متن کاملAutomatic left ventricular analysis with Inline VF performs well compared to manual analysis: results from Barts Cardiovascular Registry
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 performan...
