Advanced 3D Reconstruction of Cardiac Motion Using Tagged MRI Data

This study presents a novel methodology for reconstructing 3D dense cardiac motion from tagged MRI sequences. By integrating prior knowledge of myocardial fiber structure with advanced continuum mechanics, we apply constrained energy minimization to enhance the accuracy of cardiac motion modeling. The reconstruction process utilizes a fiber-based model to establish correspondences between transverse MRI slices, allowing for detailed analysis of myocardial deformation in both healthy and pathological states. Results demonstrate significant advancements in the understanding of cardiac mechanics, with promising applications in cardiovascular research.

  9. Deformation Gradient Matrix Deformation gradient F(t) is a function of displacement u(t).

  10. Strain • Strain is the displacement per unit length, and is written mathematically as Ref: Y.C. Fung, A First Course in Continuum Mechanics, 3rd ed., Prentice-Hall, New Jersey, 1994 • When strain is small, it is approximated as (Note: S is symmetric)

  11. Linear Strain Energy Model • S is symmetric, so we vectorize the entries at upper triangle. • Let C describe the material properties. It can be shown the linear strain energy is • The entire energy of the heart:
