Objective: The aim of this paper is to describe an automated diagnostic pipeline that uses as
input only ultrasound (US) data, but is at the same time informed by a training database of …

Cardiac motion atlases provide a space of reference in which the motions of a cohort of
subjects can be directly compared. Motion atlases can be used to learn descriptors that are …

Heart characterization is a challenging task due to the non-linear dynamic performance and
the strong shape deformation during the cardiac cycle. This work presents a regional …

Information about myocardial motion and deformation is key to differentiate normal and
abnormal conditions. With the advent of approaches relying on data rather than pre …

This paper describes the acquisition of the multimodal database used in the 1 st Cardiac
Motion Analysis Challenge. The database includes magnetic resonance (MR) and 3D …

In this paper we present a benchmarking framework for the validation of cardiac motion
analysis algorithms. The reported methods are the response to an open challenge that was …

We present a framework for combining a cardiac motion atlas with non-motion data. The
atlas represents cardiac cycle motion across a number of subjects in a common space …

We characterized motion attributes arising from LV spatio-temporal analysis of motion
distributions in myocardial infarction. Time-varying 3D finite element shape models were …

Compared to other modalities such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance
imaging, the appearance of ultrasound images is highly dependent on the expertise of the …

Recovering the 3D motion of the heart from cine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)
imaging enables the assessment of regional myocardial function and is important for …
