The effect of camera settings on image noise and accuracy of subpixel image registration
Estimating the accuracy of subpixel image registration algorithms in practical experiments is important, yet challenging in many applications. The accuracy of these algorithms in camera-based systems is influe...

Comparison of 2D Echocardiography and Cardiac Cine MRI in the Assessment of Regional Left Ventricular Wall Thickness
The generation of kinematic models of the heart using 3D echocardiography (echo) can be difficult due to poor image contrast and signal dropout, particularly at the epicardial surface. 2D echo images generally...

Parameterisation of Multi-directional Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Images of the Heart
This study presents a novel method for building parametric representations of myocardial microstructure of the left ventricle from multi-directional diffusion weighted magnetic resonance images (DWI). The dire...

Identifying Myocardial Mechanical Properties from MRI Using an Orthotropic Constitutive Model
This paper presents a method to characterise the passive orthotropic and contractile properties of left ventricular (LV) myocardial tissue using MRI data of cardiac anatomy, structure and function. Personalise...

Automated Personalised Human Left Ventricular FE Models to Investigate Heart Failure Mechanics
We have developed finite element modelling techniques to semi-automatically generate personalised biomechanical models of the human left ventricle (LV) based on cardiac magnetic resonance images. Geometric inf...

Breast Image Registration by Combining Finite Elements and Free-Form Deformations
During breast cancer diagnosis, the breasts undergo large deformations due to gravity or compression loads. It is therefore non-trivial to recover the deformation and register medical images of the breast in d...

Passive Ventricular Mechanics Modelling Using MRI of Structure and Function
Patients suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy or myocardial infarction can develop left ventricular (LV) diastolic impairment. The LV remodels its structure and function to adapt to pathophysiological changes...

Modelling Mammographic Compression of the Breast
We have developed a biomechanical model of the breast to simulate compression during mammographic imaging. The modelling framework was applied to a set of MR images of the breasts of a volunteer. Images of the...

The Breast Biomechanics Reference State for Multi-modal Image Analysis
Multi-modality imaging of the breast is becoming increasingly common, and yet combining the information from the different images is difficult due to differences in the basic imaging physics, geometry, and the...

Modelling Childbirth: Comparing Athlete and Non-athlete Pelvic Floor Mechanics
There is preliminary evidence that athletes involved in high-intensity sports for sustained periods have a higher probability of experiencing a prolonged second stage of labour compared to non-athletes. The me...

Towards Tracking Breast Cancer Across Medical Images Using Subject-Specific Biomechanical Models
Breast cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment increasingly involves images of the breast taken with different degrees of breast deformation. We introduce a new biomechanical modelling framework for predicti...
