An Electro-mechanical Model of the Heart for Cardiac Image Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple electro-mechanical model of the heart is derived to best fit available cardiac images. The model is based on anisotropic linear elasticity and, from the electrical point of view, on the finite-element discretisation of the FitzHugh-Nagumo electric wave-propagation model. Present simulations include static image segmentation. By including biological and physical a priori knowledge, more realistic 4D images segmentation of the cardiac motion are expected.

Electro-thermo-elastic stress analysis of piezoelectric polymeric thick-walled cylinder reinforced by boronnitride nanotubes (BNNTs) subjected to electro-thermo-mechanical fields is presented in this article. The electro-thermo-elastic properties of piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (PEFRC) was studied by a modified XY micromechanical model capable of exhibiting full coupling relati...
متن کاملPrediction of long-term cardiac events by 123I-MIBG imaging after acute myocardial infarction and reperfusion therapy
Objective(s): In heart failure, the heart-to-mediastinum (H/M) ratio of the delayed image and washout rate (WR) are well-known as a powerful cardiac event predictors. H/M ratio quantifies the accumulation rate of MIBG in the myocardium and WR quantifies reduction of meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) accumulation in the heart from the early planar image to the delayed pla...

متن کاملSensitivity Analysis of Fiber-Reinforced Lamina Micro-Electro-Mechanical Switches with Nonlinear Vibration Using a Higher Order Hamiltonian Approach
In this paper, the nonlinear free vibration of fiber-reinforced lamina micro-switches is investigated, and a sensitivity analysis (SA) is given. The switches are modeled as solid rectangular beams consisting of an isotropic matrix with transversely and longitudinally isotropic reinforcements, incorporating a higher order Hamiltonian approach. An SA of the proposed micro-switch is presented by c...
