Left ventricle motion and shape modeling, analysis, and visualization from image sequences

This thesis addresses the problems of modeling, analysis, and visualization of left ventricle motion and deformation based on two types of image sequences. The first type of image sequence used in this research is the coronary cineangiograms. The 3D coordinates of a set of bifurcation points obtained from the coronary cineangiogram are used to estimate the global motion and deformations as well as local motion and deformations of the left ventricle. The second type of image sequence is the dynamic CT volumetric data obtained from the unique DSR scanner. The left ventricle chambers extracted from the volumetric data are used to estimate the global motion and global deformations of the left ventricle. The estimated results of left ventricle shape, motion and deformations from both types of image data are then used to generate the animation sequences to effectively analyze the estimated numerical results.
