Model-based image analysis of the cardiac function

Abstract:

Many approaches have been proposed to analyze images and extract parameters of cardiac function and shape, however, some limitations still persist, like the accuracy of automatic segmentation processes, tracking of points in image sequences, identification of relevant physiological parameters, elevated computational cost. We discuss some of the attempts to solve such problems from the light of image analysis, and a brief review of current model-based approaches for the analysis of functional cardiac imaging data. An outline of different limitations to overcome and a problem statement of our own complementary approach to model-based image analysis are presented. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
