    摘要: A method for computing global longitudinal strain from cine magnetic resonance (MR) images includes automatically detecting landmark points in each MR long axis image frame included in a cine MR image sequence. A deformation field is determined between every pair of frames based on the landmark points. Myocardial pixels in the frames are labeled using a deep learning framework to yield myocardium masks. These myocardium masks are propagated to each frame using the deformation fields. A polar transformation is performed on each of the masked frames. The contours of the myocardium in each transformed frame are computed using a shortest path algorithm. Next, longitudinal strain is calculated at every pixel in the myocardium for the polar frames using the contours of the myocardium. Then, global longitudinal strain is computed by averaging the longitudinal strain at every pixel in the myocardium of the transformed frames.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method for performing isotropic reconstruction of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data includes receiving a stack of slices acquired by an MRI device in two or more directions and reslicing the stack of slices into (i) an acquired view stack comprising high-resolution slices acquired in-plane, and (ii) a reslice stack comprising degraded slices acquired out of plane. An estimated slice profile is generated based on the stack of slices and the acquired view stack is convolved with the estimated slice profile to yield a simulated distorted slice stack. The simulated distorted slice stack is subtracted from the acquired view stack to yield a high-frequency band estimate and the high-frequency band estimate is combined with the reslice stack to yield isotropic reconstruction results.
