Estimation of the Current Density in a Dynamic Heart Model and Visualization of Its Propagation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The inverse approach from MR images to electrical propagation is very novel, but difficult due to complicated processes from electrical excitation to heart contraction. A novel strategy is presented to recover cardiac electrical excitation pattern from medical image sequences and ECG data. We used MRI images to estimate the current density and visualize it on the surface of the heart model. The ECG data also be used to achieve the time synchronization when the propagation of the current density. Experiments are conducted on a set of real time MRI images, also with the real ECG data, and we get favorable results.

The Different Mechanisms of Action Potential Propagation in the Heart
It was thought previously that cardiac muscle gap junctions provide low-resistance connections between cells and permit the local-circuit current to flow. Some evidences show that myocardial cells may not require low-resistance connections for successful propagation of the action potential (AP). It seems that some other types of mechanisms must be involved in AP propagation. In this article, we...

In this paper the performance of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Adaptive Neuro- Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) in simulating the inverse dynamic behavior of Magneto- Rheological (MR) dampers is investigated. MR dampers are one of the most applicable methods in semi active control of seismic response of structures. Various mathematical models are introduced to simulate the dynamic behavi...

In this study, a mathematical model is developed based on algebraic equations which is capable of generating artificially normal events of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals such as P-wave, QRS complex, and T-wave. This model can also be implemented for the simulation of abnormal phenomena of electrocardiographic signals such as ST-segment episodes (i.e. depression, elevation, and sloped ascending...
متن کاملHydrodynamics Analysis of Density Currents
Density Current is formed when a fluid with heavier density than the surrounding fluid flows down an inclined bed. These types of flows are common in nature and can be produced by; salinity, temperature inhomogeneities, or suspended particles of silt and clay. Driven by the density difference between inflow and clear water in reservoirs, density current plunges clear water and moves towards a d...
