3D Heart Mesh Reconstruction

3D Heart Mesh Reconstruction from Cine MR Slices

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is increasingly used for non-invasive evaluation of the myocardium, providing accurate assessments of left ventricular function, myocardial perfusion, oedema, and scar, all of which provide important inputs in clinical decision making. From the CMR images acquired using a standard clinical protocol (short axis stack+horizontal and vertical long axis slices), an accurate high-resolution 3D representation of the myocardium is generated using patient-specific 3D surface mesh reconstruction, integrating slice alignments and segmentation refinements for a spatially consistent slice arrangement, including deep learning methodology, both of which optimise consistency between long and short axis contours.
