Functional Imaging and Modeling of the Heart
Second International Workshop, FIMH 2003, Lyon, France, June 5–6, 2003, Proceedings
Chapter and Conference Paper
We propose a methodology to estimate 3D+time maps of left ventricular (LV) fibre strain from human structural and dynamic MRI data. A biomechanical finite element model integrates fibre direction throughout th...
Chapter and Conference Paper
A statistical atlas of the cardiac fiber architecture is built for the first time with a human dataset of 10 healthy ex vivo hearts acquired using DT-MRI. The atlas is constructed using an efficient semi-automate...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The dynamic deformable elastic template (DET) model has been previously introduced for the retrieval of personalized anatomical and functional models of the heart from dynamic cardiac image sequences. Dynamic ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
We recently introduced a continuous state space parametric model of spatio-temporal transformations and an algorithm, based on Kalman filtering, to represent motion in an image sequence describing a periodic p...
Chapter and Conference Paper
This article proposes a hyperelastic 3D deformable template for the segmentation of soft structures. It relies on a template, which is a topological, geometrical and material model of the structure to segment....
Chapter and Conference Paper
A realistic anthropomorphic numerical model of the beating heart is presented. It includes the main cardiac anatomical structures, vessels junctions and part of the coronary network. Its main feature is that i...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In the context of motion estimation of the heart and thoracic structures from tomographic imaging, we investigated two free form deformations (FFD) based non linear registration methods as motion estimators. S...

Chapter and Conference Paper
In this paper an evaluation and a comparison of surface and image intensity based (mutual information, normalized mutual information and correlation ratio) rigid registration methods for cardiac magnetic reson...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The goal of this work is to present a strategy to validate cardiac MRI/PET registration methods. The strategy relies on a MRI/PET image reference data set including a computer generated PET data set of the tho...

Chapter and Conference Paper
An image processing pipeline is presented for the quantitative analysis of 2D grid tagged Magnetic Resonance images. The first step concerns the automatic extraction of the tagging pattern and the definition o...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In this paper, an approach for the assessment of 3-D functional maps of the heart is proposed. It relies on the model-based coregistration of MR anatomical and PET metabolic images and the extraction of an ind...
