Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Angiography of the Pulmonary Vasculature
1998
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) has been established as a powerful noninvasive imaging modality. Its applications to the study of the pulmonary vasculature have been hampered by a multitude of factors, such as respiratory and cardiac motion artifacts, saturation problems, long acquisition times
Quantitatively characterizing drug-induced arrhythmic contractile motions of human stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.
2018
Quantification of abnormal contractile motions of cardiac tissue has been a noteworthy challenge and significant limitation in assessing and classifying the drug-induced arrhythmias (i.e. Torsades de pointes). To overcome these challenges, researchers have taken advantage of computational image processing tools to measure contractile motion from cardiomyocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC-CMs). However, the amplitude and frequency analysis of contractile motion waveforms doesn't produce sufficient information to objectively classify the degree of variations between two or more sets of cardiac contractile motions. In this paper, we generated contractile motion dat…
