Fully automatic left ventricular myocardial strain estimation in 2D short-axis ...
Morais, Pedro André Gonçalves; Queirós, Sandro Filipe Monteiro; Heyde, Brecht; Engvall, Jan; D’ hooge, Jan; Vilaça, João L.Cardiovascular diseases are among the leading causes of death and frequently result in local myocardial dysfunction. Among the numerous imaging modalities available to detect these dysfunctional regions, cardiac deformation imaging through tagged magnetic resonance imaging (t-MRI) has been an attractive approach. Nevertheless, fully automatic analysis of these data sets is still challenging. In this work, we pr...
Multi-centre validation of an automatic algorithm for fast 4D myocardial segmen...
Queiros, Sandro; Barbosa, Daniel; Engvall, Jan; Ebbers, Tino; Nagel, Eike; Sarvari, Sebastian I.; Claus, Piet; Fonseca, Jaime C.; Vilaça, João L.Quantitative analysis of cine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images for the assessment of global left ventricular morphology and function remains a routine task in clinical cardiology practice. To date, this process requires user interaction and therefore prolongs the examination (i.e. cost) and introduces observer variability. In this study, we sought to validate the feasibility, accuracy, and time efficienc...
