METHOD FOR DETERMINING A PERSONALIZED CARDIAC MODEL USING A MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING SEQUENCE

摘要

The present invention concerns a method for determining a personalized cardiac model, comprising steps of (i) computing a velocity time profile of a blood flow across a selected area of the heart or the aorta during at least one cardiac cycle, using data acquired with a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) device, (ii) performing a segmentation of said velocity time profile so as to identify cardiac phases according to a predefined generic cardiac model, (iii) computing normalized time location and/or duration of said cardiac phases within cardiac cycles so as to define a personalized cardiac model.
