Summary on Grant Application Form
The proposed research is concerned with the description and reconstruction of heart surface deformation in the context of regional heart function assessment. The goal is to extend the current state-of-art in real-time dynamic quantification based on 2D echogram sequences (T+2D) to T + coarse 3D (T+2.5D). This approach potentially offers accuracy over 2D techniques and cost and speed advantages over alternative full volumetric (3D+T) methods.A key novelty of the work is in the use of sparse-view reconstruction from echogram sequences for rapid 3D reconstruction. New ways to describe regional variability in ventricle motion will also be investigated and their clinical potential evaluated.
