A method for fusion of the short-axis and long-axis cardiac MR images into an isotropic volume image is introduced. A volume image obtained by this method contains the left ventricular (LV) cavity in one piece, facilitating measurement of its shape and volume. The main goal in this image fusion is to reconstruct the LV cavity in volume form and in high resolution. The accuracy of the method is measured using a synthetic image, and examples of image fusion using real images are presented.
介绍了一种将心脏短轴和长轴磁共振图像融合为各向同性体素图像的方法。通过该方法获得的体素图像包含完整的左心室(LV)腔,便于测量其形状和容积。这种图像融合的主要目标是以体素形式并以高分辨率重建LV腔。使用合成图像测量该方法的准确性,并给出使用真实图像进行图像融合的示例。
