Excerpt
Cine displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) provides quantitative imaging of tissue motion with high spatial resolution. Recent results have demonstrated that 3D cine DENSE provides resolution sufficient to quantify the mechanics of the right ventricle (RV) [
1]. However, RV analysis currently requires manual anatomical delineation on all cine frames. This research extends motion guided segmentation methods [
2,
3] to the RV, requiring manual delineation of anatomy on only a single cine frame. …
