A Framework of Whole Heart Extracellular Volume Fraction Estimation for Low-Dose Cardiac CT Images
2012
IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine
Cardiac CT (CCT) is widely available and has been validated for detection of focal myocardial scar using delayed enhancement technique. CCT however has not been previously evaluated for quantification of diffuse myocardial fibrosis. In our investigation, we sought to evaluate the potential of low dose CCT for the measurement of myocardial whole heart extracellular volume (ECV) fraction. ECV is altered in conditions of increased myocardial fibrosis. A framework consisting of three main steps was
