Segmentation Integrating Texture and Shape A Priori Applied to Cardiac MR Images
International audience; Cardiovascular diseases are the first cause of death worldwide. Early and accurate diagnosisof cardiovascular diseases plays an important role in improving life of population afflicted heartdiseases. Delayed Enhencement Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DE-MRI) is a highly valuablebut non-specific imaging technique that is ancillary in the diagnosis of a variety of myocardialdiseases. This papper presents a novel segmentation technique of DE-MRI based on watershedand region growing algorithm with application of myocardium shape.

Relation between high levels of myeloperoxidase in the culprit artery and microvascular obstruction, infarct size and reverse remodeling in ST-elevation myocardial infarction
International audience; MAIN OBJECTIVE: To better understand the role of myeloperoxidases (MPO) in microvascular obstruction (MO) phenomenon and infarct size (IS) using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) data in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).METHOD: 40 consecutive patients classified according to the median level of MPO in the culprit artery. A CMR study was performed during the week following AMI and at 6 months, with late gadolinium enhancement sequences.RESULTS: Persistent MO was observed in the same proportion (50 vs. 65%, p = 0.728) between the low vs. high MPO group levels. However, the extent of the microvascular obstruction was significantly greater in the high-MPO g…
L'imagerie par résonance magnétique du myocarde avec des agents de contraste extracellulaires à base de gadolinium.
L'injection en bolus d'un agent de contraste extra-cellulaire contenant du gadolinium permet d'étudier le premier passage myocardique et le rehaussement tardif du myocarde chez les patients atteints de maladie coronarienne. Les applications les plus développées concernent l'évaluation de la viabilité. Celle-ci est réduite lorsque l'apparition du signal myocardique au premier passage est lente avec un rehaussement tardif transmural du signal myocardique. À partir des courbes de premier passage, il est possible d'étudier la perfusion myocardique et les effets des agents vasodilatateurs comme le dipyridamole ou l'adénosine. Le débit myocardique absolu peut aussi être calculé. Néanmoins, l'usag…

Fragmented Qrs Complex on a 12-Lead Ecg in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction: A MRI Study
International audience; The goal of this study is to investigate the relationship between a fragmented QRS complex (fQRS) and parameters of infarct size (IS) and no reflow assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
The therapeutic impact of PET-FDG scanning in broncho-pulmonary cancer
Because of the expected high performances of scintigraphic scans with [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) not only in diagnostics and but also in therapeutic impact, especially in thoracic oncology, there are a lot of French nuclear medicine departments which will soon be equipped with a positron emission tomograph (PET).The Nuclear Medicine Department of the Hôpital d'Instructions des Armées du Val-de-Grâce, Paris, led a retrospective study among physicians interested in 338 FDG-PET exams performed between may 2000 and march 2002 in order to compare its own results with international literature concerning four indications for lung cancer: pulmonary nodule or mass malignancy diagnostic, lung car…
Improved Estimation of Cardiac Function Parameters Using a Combination of Independent Automated Segmentation Results in Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging
International audience; This work aimed at combining different segmentation approaches to produce a robust and accurate segmentation result. Three to five segmentation results of the left ventricle were combined using the STAPLE algorithm and the reliability of the resulting segmentation was evaluated in comparison with the result of each individual segmentation method. This comparison was performed using a supervised approach based on a reference method. Then, we used an unsupervised statistical evaluation, the extended Regression Without Truth (eRWT) that ranks different methods according to their accuracy in estimating a specific bio-marker in a population. The segmentation accuracy was …
