Myocardial motion and deformation analysis from echocardiograms

Echocardiography is a widely used imaging technique to examine myocardial function in patients with known or suspected heart disease. The analysis of ventricular wall motion and deformation, in particular, allows to assess the extent of myocardial ischemia ...

Full Motion and Flow Field Recovery from Echo Doppler Data

Michaël Unser, Michael Sühling, Muthuvel Arigovindan

We present a new computational method for reconstructing a vector velocity field from scattered, pulsed-wave ultrasound Doppler data. The main difficulty is that the Doppler measurements are incomplete, for they do only capture the velocity component along ...

Variational Image Reconstruction from Arbitrarily Spaced Samples: A Fast Multiresolution Spline Solution

Michaël Unser, Michael Sühling, Muthuvel Arigovindan

We propose a novel method for image reconstruction from nonuniform samples with no constraints on their locations. We adopt a variational approach where the reconstruction is formulated as the minimizer of a cost that is a weighted sum of two terms: 1) the ...

Full Flow/Motion-Field Recovery from Pulsed-Wave Ultrasound Doppler Data

Michaël Unser, Michael Sühling, Muthuvel Arigovindan

We present a new computational method for reconstructing a vector field from scattered, pulsed-wave ultrasound Doppler data. The main difficulty is that the Doppler measurements are incomplete, for they do only capture the velocity component along the beam ...

Spatio-Temporal Nonrigid Registration for Ultrasound Cardiac Motion Estimation

Michaël Unser, Michael Sühling

We propose a new spatio-temporal elastic registration algorithm for motion reconstruction from a series of images. The specific application is to estimate displacement fields from two-dimensional ultrasound sequences of the heart. The basic idea is to find ...

Myocardial Motion Analysis from B-Mode Echocardiograms

Michaël Unser, Michael Sühling, Muthuvel Arigovindan

The quantitative assessment of cardiac motion is a fundamental concept to evaluate ventricular malfunction. We present a new optical-flow-based method for estimating heart motion from two-dimensional echocardiographic sequences. To account for typical hear ...
