Constitutive modelling of passive myocardium: a structurally based framework for material characterization.

11 Sep 2009 In this paper, we first of all review the morphology and structure of the myocardium and discuss the main features of the mechanical response of passive myocardium tissue, which is an orthotropic material. Locally within the architecture of the ... Read more...

Fast left ventricular mass and volume assessment in mice with three-dimensional guide-point modeling.

30 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: To investigate the accuracy (vs. standard manual analysis) and precision (scan-rescan reproducibility) of three-dimensional guide-point modeling (GPM) for the assessment of left ventricular (LV) function in mice. METHODS: Six male wildtype ... Read more...

[Effect of reconstruction parameters on a calculation of left ventricular volumes by OS-EM reconstruction algorithm including various image corrections]

18 Jul 2009 The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of reconstruction parameters on the measurement of global left ventricular (LV) volume and define the appropriate reconstruction parameters when using the ordered subsets expectation maximization ... Read more...
