Abstract:Myocardial contraction affects the cardiovascular pumping system, and helps in the early phase to detect abnormalities of wall motion noninvasively. In this research, we designed a program to characterize regional abnormalities because scar tissue is very difficult to identify in normal cardiac CT images. We created 10 frames of a 3D heart model that contains the long axis as reference for predicting the left ventricular wall motion. We tested our 4D cardiac model with scar tissue using non invasive cardiac CT… Show more
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.
