Alterations in ectopic myocardial contraction assessed using real-time MRI
Background Arrhythmias are a significant healthcare burden and an estimated 400,000 people die annually due to arrhythmia related complications. While pathological electrical activity can be observed at the endocardial surface during electrophysiology treatment, high spatial resolution non-invasive methods are needed to resolve aberrant contraction and establish correspondence with regional myo...
متن کاملTranscatheter real-time MRI guided myocardial chemoablation using acetic acid
Background In patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, radiofrequency ablation for ventricular arrhythmias can have limited efficacy because of the mismatch between lesion depth and substrate thickness, and because radiofrequency-induced edema surrounding the lesion is reversible resulting in only temporary conduction block. We hypothesized that transcatheter needle injection under real-time magn...
متن کاملThree-directional myocardial motion assessed using 3D phase contrast MRI.
Regional myocardial function is a complex entity consisting of motion in three dimensions (3D). Besides magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), no other noninvasive technique can give a true 3D description of cardiac motion. Using a time-resolved 3D phase contrast technique, three-dimensional image volumes containing myocardial velocity data in six normal volunteers were acquired. Coordinates and vel...
متن کاملCharacterizing Covert Articulation in Apraxic Speech Using real-time MRI
We explore the use of real-time magnetic resonance imaging (rtMRI) as a tool to investigate apraxic speech, in particular, by examining articulatory behavior. Our pilot data reveal that covert (silent) gestural intrusion errors (employing an intrinsically simple 1:1 mode of coupling) are made more frequently by an apraxic subject than by fluent speakers. Covert intrusion errors are also found t...
متن کاملBuilding and using a statistical 3D motion atlas for analyzing myocardial contraction in MRI
We address the issue of modeling and quantifying myocardial contraction from 4D MR sequences, and present an unsupervised approach for building and using a statistical 3D motion atlas for the normal heart. This approach relies on a state-of-the-art variational non rigid registration (NRR) technique using generalized information measures, which allows for robust intra-subject motion estimation a...
