For the last 15 years, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become a reference
examination for cardiac morphology, function and perfusion in humans. Yet, due to the …

This paper presents a new three-dimensional electromechanical model of the two cardiac
ventricles designed both for the simulation of their electrical and mechanical activity, and for …

Segmentation of time series of 3D cardiac images is clinically used for the assessment of the
mechanical function of the left ventricle. To take into account the 4D (3D+ T) nature of those …

This article describes a methodology for creating a generic volumetric biomechanical model
from different image modalities and segmenting time series of medical images using this …

Strong prior models are a prerequisite for reliable spatio-temporal cardiac image analysis.
While several cardiac models have been presented in the past, many of them are either too …

In this chapter, semi-or fully-automatic approaches for the segmentation of cardiovascular
images (especially approaches focused on the segmentation of the LV) that use deep …

In this paper, a new approach is presented for the assessment of a 3-D anatomical and
functional model of the heart including structural information from magnetic resonance …

Based on research and clinical trials, this book details the latest research in magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) tagging technology related to heart mechanics. It covers clinical …

Deformable modeling with medial axis representation is a useful means of segmenting and
parametrically describing the shape of anatomical structures in medical images. Continuous …

Grids have emerged as a promising technology to handle the data and compute intensive
requirements of many application areas. Digital medical image processing is a promising …
