Cardiac deformation analysis from orthogonal CSPAMM (OCSPAMM) tagged MRI
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a highly advanced and sophisticated imaging modality for cardiac motion assessment and quantitative analysis. The myocardial tagging techniques have seen wide applications for cardiac deformation analysis (see [1-4] for example). Among different image post-processing techniques, frequency-based methods have played an important role in analysis of heart displacement from tagged MRI images [5,6]. In this abstract, we apply the SinMod technique to data from a new tagging pulse sequence which we have recently developed called Orthogonal CSPAMM (OCSPAMM) [7].

Accelerated whole-heart 3D CSPAMM for myocardial motion quantification.
Myocardial tissue tagging using complementary spatial modulation of magnetization (CSPAMM) allows detailed assessment of myocardial motion. To capture the complex 3D cardiac motion pattern, multiple 2D tagged slices are usually acquired in different orientations. These approaches are prone to slice misregistration and associated with long acquisition times. In this work, a fast method for acqui...
متن کاملA novel optical flow method for myocardial deformation analysis from tagged MRI
Background Cardiac motion analysis can play an important role in diagnosis of cardiac disease. Tagged magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the ability to directly and non-invasively alter tissue magnetization and produce tag patterns on the deforming tissue [1-3]. This abstract proposes a novel optical flow method for computing the left ventricular systolic dynamics using harmonic phase (HARP) ...
متن کاملAngle Images using Gabor Filters in Cardiac Tagged MRI
Tagged Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive technique used to examine cardiac deformation in vivo. An Angle Image is a representation of a Tagged MRI which recovers the relative position of the tissue respect to the distorted tags. Thus cardiac deformation can be estimated. This paper describes a new approach to generate Angle Images using a bank of Gabor filters in short axis car...
متن کاملMagnitude image CSPAMM reconstruction (MICSR).
Image reconstruction of tagged cardiac MR images using complementary spatial modulation of magnetization (CSPAMM) requires the subtraction of two complex datasets to remove the untagged signal. Although the resultant images typically have sharper and more persistent tags than images formed without complementary tagging pulses, handling the complex data is problematic and tag contrast still degr...
متن کاملAnalysis of true 3D cardiac motion using 3D tagged MRI
Introduction Tagged MRI offers the possibility to trace tissue deformation by creating planes of MR signal decrease throughout the measured object [1]. This results in dark stripes in the images, referred to as tags. In subsequently acquired time series the tag planes bend out of shape according to the motion of the imaged tissue. Retrospective tracking of the tag surfaces then enables reconstr...
