; matrix size, ; FOV, mm; slice thickness, 8 mm. Retrospective ECG gating was used with 25 phases per section. We then segmented the two ventricles in the end-diastolic images using…

, where we define a transverse isotropic diffusion tensor model of the form: (1) (2)for all , with the helix angle of the fiber and the local circumferential and long-axial…

to different subject meshes M, we are locating two anatomical landmark points on their corresponding base meshes S. As cardiac landmarks we use the apex and the mid-septal point of…

Fig. 1. Pipeline of the proposed method: (a) ambient space with M input features for each subject, (b) feature-specific and global affinity matrices used as input to the MKL optimization,…

Fig. 1. Geometrical models with color coded activation times resulting from the electrophysiological simulation. 2.2 Electrophysiological Modeling The ion kinetics at each of the voxels representing atrial myocytes were computed…

Fig. 1. Three components for an in-vivo assessment tool are pre-strain measurement, inverse model and population average fiber architecture of valve leaflets 2 Methods To demonstrate the ideal capabilities of…

regularization, which induces sparsity, in our integration method. We also introduce regularization to make the dense fields more adhering to cardiac biomechanics. Finally, we motivate the necessity of temporal coherence…
