Analysis Of 4-D Cardiac Mr Data With Nurbs Deformable Models: Temporal Fitting Strategy And Nonrigid Registration

  • Chapter
Deformable Models

We present research in which both left- and right-ventricular deformation is estimated from tagged cardiac mgnetic resonance imaging using volumetric deformable models constructed from nonuniform rational B-splines (NURBS). The four model types considered and compared for the left ventricle include two Cartesian NURBS models — one with a cylindrical parameter assignment and one with a prolate spheroidal parameter assignment. The remaining two are non-Cartesian, i.e., prolate spheroidal and cylindrical, each with their respective prolate spheroidal and cylindrical parameter assignment regime.
