Given that heart disease can cause abnormal motion dynamics over the cardiac cycle,
understanding and quantifying cardiac motion can provide insight for clinicians to aid with …

Although more patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) are now living longer due to
better surgical interventions, they require regular imaging to monitor cardiac performance …

Abstract 3D Speckle tracking techniques are used to quantify cardiac deformation in 3D
echocardiographic images. Elastic image registration methods are successful in solving 3D …

This paper presents a novel algorithm that extends HARP to handle 3D tagged MRI images.
HARP results were regularized by an original regularization framework defined in an …

Although many solutions have been proposed for left ventricular functional analysis of the
heart, right and left (bi-) ventricular function has been problematic due to the complex …

The synchronization and registration of dynamic computed tomography (CT) and magnetic
resonance images (MRI) of the heart is required to perform a combined analysis of their …

Background and objective Non-rigid image registration is a well-established method for
estimating cardiac motion on 3D echocardiographic images. However, such images have …

Cardiac disease can reduce the ability of the ventricles to function well enough to sustain
long-term pumping efficiency. Recent advances in cardiac motion tracking have led to …

In this article we present a drastic dimension reduction method to link the biophysical
parameters of an electromechanical model of the heart with a compact representation of …

This thesis presents image-based methods for the analysis of cardiac motion to enable
group-wise statistics, automatic diagnosis and longitudinal study. This is achieved by …
