We present an interactive algorithm to segment the heart chambers and epicardial surfaces,
including the great vessel walls, in pediatric cardiac MRI of congenital heart disease …

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is characterized by elevated pulmonary arterial pressure.
Echocardiography, or cardiac ultrasound, is a helpful imaging tool to screen for PH …

A probabilistic group-wise similarity registration technique based on Student's t-mixture
model (TMM) and a multi-resolution extension of the same (mr-TMM) are proposed in this …

Statistical shape models (SSMs) have been widely employed in cardiac image
segmentation. However, in conditions that induce severe shape abnormality and …

Recent advances in imaging technology have enabled the non-invasive study of the
structure and the function of the heart, the valves and the vascular system. Different imaging …

Hypertension (HTN) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. At least 45% of deaths
due to heart disease and 51% of deaths due to stroke are the result of hypertension …

Computational heart modeling is a promising approach for improving the prognosis of
patients born with congenital heart defects. To create accurate physics-based digital cardiac …

The construction of a powerful statistical shape model (SSM) requires a rich training dataset
that includes the large variety of complex anatomical topologies. The lack of real data …

According to the World Health Organisation, cardiovascular diseases are the most prevalent
cause of death worldwide and taking nearly 18 million lives each year. Identifying …

The marriage of cutting edge technologies for 3D visualisation (including 3D printing and
virtual reality) with volumetric medical imaging admits the construction and representation of …
