MR tagging has shown great promise for detailed noninvasive cardiac motion imaging. We consider here the use of low-frequency tags coupled with gradientbased optical flow estimation to compute cardiac motion. A multiple constraint optical flow method for tagged MRI is formulated by exploiting the Fourier content of the tagged images. The method is validated on simulated tagged data.&words-optical flow, motion estimation, cardiac tagging.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
