Automatic Assessment of Cardiac Perfusion MRI
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a method based on Active Appearance Models (AAM) is applied for automatic registration of myocardial perfusion MRI. A semi-quantitative perfusion assessment of the registered image sequences is presented. This includes the formation of perfusion maps for three parameters; maximum up-slope, peak and time-to-peak.

Introduction: Automatic arterial input function (AIF) selection has an essential role in quantification of cerebral perfusion parameters. The purpose of this study is to develop an optimal automatic method for AIF determination in dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI) of glioma brain tumors by using a new preprocessing method.Material and Methods: For this study, ...
متن کاملInter-study reproducibility of cardiac MRI in free breathing patients at rest for the evaluation of regional myocardial perfusion
Background In the early stages of some cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), myocardial ischemia only occurs in a limited area. Thus, accurate detection of regional myocardial perfusion abnormalities is important for diagnosis. Recently, myocardial perfusion using MRI has become a promising non-invasive method to evaluate myocardial ischemia in CVDs. However, the reproducibility of MRI for assessment...
متن کاملAdvances in Cardiovascular Imaging Noninvasive Assessment of Myocardial Perfusion
Noninvasive assessment of myocardial perfusion is important in the diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Although single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is most commonly used, multiple modalities including myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE), positron emission tomography (PET), cardiac MRI (CMR), and cardiac compu...
متن کاملHighly-Accelerated First-Pass Cardiac Perfusion MRI Using Compressed Sensing and Parallel Imaging
INTRODUCTION: First-pass cardiac perfusion MRI is a promising modality for the assessment of coronary artery disease. Recently developed dynamic parallel imaging techniques, such as k-t SENSE [1] and k-t GRAPPA [2], can be used to perform up to 10-fold accelerated perfusion imaging by exploiting the difference in coil sensitivities and spatio-temporal correlations. Such techniques can be used t...
متن کاملAutomatic Characterization of Myocardial Perfusion in Contrast Enhanced MRI
The use of contrast medium in cardiac MRI allows joining the high-resolution anatomical information provided by standard magnetic resonance with functional information obtained by means of the perfusion of contrast agent in myocardial tissues. The current approach to perfusion MRI characterization is the qualitative one, based on visual inspection of images. Moving to quantitative analysis requ...
