Methodology for Jointly Assessing Myocardial Infarct Extent and Regional Contraction in 3-D CMRI [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2012, 59 (9),
pp.2650-2659, 2023 Automated extraction of quantitative parameters from Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Images (CMRI) is crucial for the management of patients with myocardial infarct. This work proposes a post-processing procedure to jointly analyze Cine and Delayed-Enhanced (DE) acquisitions in order to provide an automatic quantification of myocardial contraction and ...

Symmetry-Enhanced Attention Network for Acute Ischemic Infarct Segmentation with Non-Contrast CT Images [PDF]
, 2021 Quantitative estimation of the acute ischemic infarct is crucial to improve neurological outcomes of the patients with stroke symptoms. Since the density of lesions is subtle and can be confounded by normal physiologic changes, anatomical asymmetry provides useful information to differentiate the ischemic and healthy brain tissue.
