Quantifying right ventricular motion and strain using 3D cine DENSE MRI
Background The RV is difficult to image because of its thin wall, asymmetric geometry and complex motion. DENSE is a quantitative MRI technique for measuring myocardial displacement and strain at high spatial and temporal resolutions [1,2]. DENSE encodes tissue displacement directly into the image phase, allowing for the direct extraction of motion data at a pixel resolution. A free-breathing n...
متن کاملMotion guided segmentation of the right ventricle for 3D cine DENSE MRI
Background Cine displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) provides quantitative imaging of tissue motion with high spatial resolution. Recent results have demonstrated that 3D cine DENSE provides resolution sufficient to quantify the mechanics of the right ventricle (RV) [1]. However, RV analysis currently requires manual anatomical delineation on all cine frames. This research exten...
متن کاملMapping right ventricular myocardial mechanics using 3D cine DENSE cardiovascular magnetic resonance
BACKGROUND The mechanics of the right ventricle (RV) are not well understood as studies of the RV have been limited. This is, in part, due to the RV's thin wall, asymmetric geometry and irregular motion. However, the RV plays an important role in cardiovascular function. This study aims to describe the complex mechanics of the healthy RV using three dimensional (3D) cine displacement encoding w...
متن کاملAutomated cardiac motion estimation from 3D Cine DENSE MRI
Background 3D cine displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) directly encodes tissue displacement into MR phase data, providing a comprehensive 3D view of cardiac motion and strain. Unfortunately, 3D cine DENSE motion analysis presently requires manually delineated anatomy. An automated analysis would reduce interobserver variability, improve measurement throughput, and simplify data...
متن کاملEstimating 3D Strain from 4D Cine-MRI and Echocardiography: In-Vivo Validation
The quantitative estimation of regional cardiac deformation from 3D image sequences has important clinical implications for the assessment of myocardial viability. The validation of such image-derived estimates, however, is a non-trivial problem as it is very difficult to obtain ground truth. In this work we present an approach to validating strain estimates derived from 3D cine-Magnetic Resona...
