Reconstruction of Detailed Left Ventricle Motion from tMRI Using Deformable Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 the LV motion, utilizing Finite Element Methods (FEM) to keep the general shape and topology of the LV. This volumetric deformable model speeds up the FEM and facilitates the medical analysis. The LV motion reconstruction provides information for further analysis of cardiac mechanisms.

LV Motion and Strain Computation from tMRI Based on Meshless Deformable Models
We propose a novel meshless deformable model for in vivo Left Ventricle (LV) 3D motion estimation and analysis based on tagged MRI (tMRI). The meshless deformable model can capture global deformations such as contraction and torsion with a few parameters, while track local deformations with Laplacian representation. In particular, the model performs well even when the control points (tag inters...
متن کاملDeformable models with sparsity constraints for cardiac motion analysis
Deformable models integrate bottom-up information derived from image appearance cues and top-down priori knowledge of the shape. They have been widely used with success in medical image analysis. One limitation of traditional deformable models is that the information extracted from the image data may contain gross errors, which adversely affect the deformation accuracy. To alleviate this issue,...

In this paper, the Radial Strain (RS) and Strain Rate (SR) was calculated using tagged MRI (tMRI) data. Using tagged magnetic resonance imaging (tMRI), the left ventricle short axis of five healthy adults (three men and two women) and four healthy male rats was imaged during diastolic and systolic phases on the mid-ventricle level. The RS and radial SR of the left ventricle were calculated at t...
متن کاملThree-dimensional motion reconstruction and analysis of the right ventricle using tagged MRI
Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction can serve as an indicator of heart and lung disease and can adversely affect the left ventricle. However, normal RV function must be characterized before abnormal states can be detected. We describe a method for reconstructing the 3D motion of the RV by fitting a deformable model to tag and contour data extracted from multiview tagged magnetic resonance images...
متن کامل3D Mouse Left Ventricle Reconstruction using Sparse MR Images with Arbitrary Orientations
This paper presents a framework for 3D left ventricle reconstruction using sparse magnetic resonance (MR) images with different orientations. Due to the inadequate inter-slice resolution, both shortand long-axis cardiac MR images are commonly acquired to reveal the left ventricle shape and motion. The contours in these images show different profiles of left ventricle and contain its essential s...
