Assessing the effect of tissue structural changes during cardiac deformation using magnetic resonance imaging techniques

Thesis

Global assessment of the myocardial tissue wall motion from cine MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is widely used in clinical practice, however, the estimation is done, in the majority of cases, visually rather than quantitatively. This doctoral thesis proposes steps forward in the local assessment of the left ventricular (LV) function in order to provide a better estimation of the damage post acute myocardial infarction (MI). Accurate post acute MI tissue damage estimation from cine MR tra...
