Semi-automatic segmentation of myocardium at risk from contrast enhanced SSFP images - validation against manual delineation and SPECT
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background The development of treatments to limit myocardial injury in patients with acute STEMI is dependent on methods that accurately determine the amount of mycoardium at risk (MaR). Both T2-weighted imaging and contrast enhanced SSFP (CE-SSFP) have been validated against SPECT and can determine the MaR by CMR one week after an infarct. CE-SSFP has recently been used in two multi-center studies. An automatic algorithm for quantification of MaR from T2-weighted images has previously been described but not been tested in CE-SSFP. The aim of this study was to further develop and validate this automatic method for CE-SSFP.

BACKGROUND Efficacy of reperfusion therapy can be assessed as myocardial salvage index (MSI) by determining the size of myocardium at risk (MaR) and myocardial infarction (MI), (MSI = 1-MI/MaR). Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can be used to assess MI by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and MaR by either T2-weighted imaging or contrast enhanced SSFP (CE-SSFP). Automatic segmentation al...

متن کاملSemi-automatic segmentation of myocardium at risk in T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance
BACKGROUND T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has been shown to be a promising technique for determination of ischemic myocardium, referred to as myocardium at risk (MaR), after an acute coronary event. Quantification of MaR in T2-weighted CMR has been proposed to be performed by manual delineation or the threshold methods of two standard deviations from remote (2SD), full widt...
متن کامل1131 Robust semi - automatic computer - aided segmentation of the left ventricle
Introduction Left ventricular assessment with CMR calls for extensive delineation from increasingly large datasets, especially for serial examinations. In these cases, manual segmentation is tedious and also involves significant interand intraoperator variability. Computer-aided approaches that help automate the delineation are fallible to a range of problems that affect automatic image segment...
