Extraction of morphometry and branching angles of porcine coronary arterial tree from CT images.

9 Sep 2009 The morphometry (diameters, length, and angles) of coronary arteries is related to their function. A simple, easy, and accurate image-based method to seamlessly extract the morphometry for coronary arteries is of significant value for understanding ... Read more...

Mitral cerclage annuloplasty, a novel transcatheter treatment for secondary mitral valve regurgitation: initial results in swine.

9 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: We developed and tested a novel transcatheter circumferential annuloplasty technique to reduce mitral regurgitation in porcine ischemic cardiomyopathy. BACKGROUND: Catheter-based annuloplasty for secondary mitral regurgitation exploits ... Read more...

Toward true 3D visualization of active catheters using compressed sensing.

30 Jul 2009 A crucial requirement in MR-guided interventions is the visualization of catheter devices in real time. However, true 3D visualization of the full length of catheters has hitherto been impossible given scan time constraints. Compressed sensing (CS) ... Read more...
