Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and system for automated view planning for cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquisition is disclosed. The method and system automatically generate a full scan prescription using a single 3D MRI volume. The left ventricle (LV) is segmented in the 3D MRI volume. Cardiac landmarks are detected in the automatically prescribed slices. A full scan prescription, including a short axis stack and 2-chamber, 3-chamber, and 4-chamber views, is automatically generated based on cardiac anchors provided by the segmented left ventricle and the detected cardiac landmarks in the 3D MRI volume.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for automated view planning for cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquisition based on a single 3D MRI volume, comprising: segmenting a left ventricle (LV) in the 3D MRI volume; and automatically generating a scan prescription for cardiac MRI acquisition based on cardiac anchor points provided by the segmented LV in the 3D MRI volume, wherein the step of automatically generating a scan prescription for cardiac MRI acquisition based on…
