Segmentation of Myocardial Boundaries in Tagged Cardiac MRI Using Active Contours: A Gradient-Based Approach Integrating Texture Analysis [PDF]

, 2009
The noninvasive assessment of cardiac function is of first importance for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. Among all medical scanners only a few enables radiologists to evaluate the local cardiac motion. Tagged cardiac MRI is one of them.

Cardiac magnetic resonance findings predict increased resource utilization in elective coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]

, 2008
Morbidity following CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting) is difficult to predict and leads to increased healthcare costs. We hypothesized that pre-operative CMR (cardiac magnetic resonance) findings would predict resource utilization in elective CABG ...

Stem Cell Imaging: Tools to Improve Cell Delivery and Viability. [PDF]

, 2016
Stem cell therapy (SCT) has shown very promising preclinical results in a variety of regenerative medicine applications. Nevertheless, the complete utility of this technology remains unrealized. Imaging is a potent tool used in multiple stages of SCT and

Value of pathologic Q wave in surface electrocardiography in the prediction of myocardial nonviability: A cardiac magnetic resonance imaging-based study

Journal of Advanced Pharmaceutical Technology & Research, 2018
In surface electrocardiography (ECG), Q wave is often considered as a sign of irreversibly scarred myocardium. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is an accurate mean for the detection of myocardial viability.

Noninvasive in vivo tracking of mesenchymal stem cells and evaluation of cell therapeutic effects in a murine model using a clinical 3.0 T MRI [PDF]

, 2013
Cardiac cell therapy with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represents a promising treatment approach for endstage heart failure. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms and the fate of the transplanted cells. The objective of the presented
