Rapid cardiac imaging with turbo BRISK.

A variety of variable and constant rate, sparse sampling strategies have previously been proposed to rapidly image dynamically changing objects. The majority of these strategies compile a k-space data set for any given time point by substituting k-space data from the most recently sampled time positions (extracted from the sparsely sampled set). The BRISK technique, is a variable rate, sparse sampling technique which additionally incorporates an interpolation scheme to more accurately represent k-space data at positions which were not directly sampled. Here, strategies are introduced that allow tubo concepts to be incorporated with BRISK. Simulations are conducted to compare the efficacy of the turbo BRISK acquisition and processing strategy against a constant rate, sparse sampling strategy with direct substitution of the most recently acquired k-space lines. It is shown that turbo BRISK generates images of similar quality in approximately half the time as the uniform sampling rate, sparse sampling strategy. Data from turbo BRISK acquisitions of multicardiac phase image sets, obtained on a normal volunteer and cardiac patients are presented.

Automatic cardiac MR image segmentation using edge detection by tissue classification in pixel neighborhoods.

A highly sensitive edge detector has been developed that uses tissue classification of pixels based on analysis of data in their local neighborhoods. In conjunction with recursive region growing, it has been used successfully to define regions of interest (ROI) when applied specifically to gradient echo MR images of the heart. The detector adapts to nonuniformity by carrying out an independent analysis at each location. If two tissues are present in a neighborhood and the pixel at that location cannot be classified with the seed pixel, a region edge has been crossed and recursion is stopped. No geometric assumptions relating to object shape such as definition of a region center and radial search are required. The detector was applied to multi-slice, multi-phase images of the heart from 26 subjects. A segmentation strategy specified slice processing order, graded ROIs, and used successfully detected ROIs to guide subsequent detection. Segmentation of all images resulted in a 90.3% median edge pixel detection efficiency.
