| Description | 16th Statistical Workshop on Image Fusion and Shape Variability Techniques Knowledge of the motion and shape variability of the heart is necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac related diseases. In particular, the evaluation of the contraction of the left ventricle of the heart (myocardium) plays a key role in the assessment of ischaemia and cardiac malfunction. Among the existing non-invasive imaging techniques, Magnetic Resonance (MR) has many advantages as it can be used for high-resolution cine imaging of the myocardium. However, a common disadvantage of most cine imaging techniques is that the plane of imaging is fixed in space and time for tracking a single anatomical plane, while the heart moves a certain amount out of this plane during the cardiac cycle. This off-plane movement [3] reduces the effectiveness of methods that intend to evaluate motion and deformation by comparing images made at different times during the cardiac cycle. Furthermore, presenting a comprehensible analysis of the deformations of the heart is an extremely difficul... |
