Cardiac Motion Analysis Using Wavelet Projections of Tagged Mr Sequences
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an optical flow technique in a differential projected framework adapted to local myocardial motion estimation from MR Tagged images. The algorithm is based on The Dual Tree design of Hilbert transform pairs of wavelet bases. Such a design allows one to construct several orientationsensitive wavelet filters for better analysis of the complex twisting motion combined with the longitudinal shortening of the heart. The complex wavelet transform (CWT) integrates both energy and phase information in the wavelets coefficients for an effective motion estimation. The CWT also provides a high frequency analysis and enjoys a multiresolution aspect that allows multiscale flow estimate. Performances of the algorithm are tested on synthetic tagged MRI sequences and examples of strain analysis are presented.

Myocardial Motion Estimation in Tagged MR Sequences by Using alphaMI-Based Non Rigid Registration
Tagged Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is currently the reference MR modality for myocardial motion and strain analysis. NMI-based non rigid registration has proven to be an accurate method to retrieve cardiac deformation fields. The use of alphaMI permits higher dimensional features to be implemented in myocardial deformation estimation through image registration. This paper demonstrates that...
متن کاملCardiac material markers from tagged MR images
Tagged magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown great promise in non-invasive analysis of heart motion. To replace implanted markers as a gold standard, however, tagged MRI must be able to track a sparse set of material points, so-called material markers, with high accuracy. This paper presents a new method for generating accurate motion estimates over a sparse set of material points using st...
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...
متن کاملCardiac motion tracking using CINE harmonic phase (HARP) magnetic resonance imaging.
This article introduces a new image processing technique for rapid analysis of tagged cardiac magnetic resonance image sequences. The method uses isolated spectral peaks in SPAMM-tagged magnetic resonance images, which contain information about cardiac motion. The inverse Fourier transform of a spectral peak is a complex image whose calculated angle is called a harmonic phase (HARP) image. It i...
متن کاملMeasuring myocardial motion changes in tagged MR to establish inverse electro-mechanical coupling for XMR-guided RF ablation
Radio-frequency (RF) ablation uses electrode-catheters to destroy abnormally conducting myocardial areas that lead to potentially lethal tachyarrhythmias. The procedure is normally guided with x-rays (2D), leading to errors in location and excessive radiation exposure. One of our goals is to provide preand intra-operative 3D MR guidance in XMR systems (combined X-ray and MRI room) by locating m...
