• Abstract summary: We propose an algorithm that simultaneously aligns all SA and LA slices by maximizing the pair-wise intensity agreement between their intersections. Unlike previous works, our approach is formulated as a subject-specific optimization problem and requires no prior knowledge of the underlying anatomy.

• Abstract: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) image acquisition requires subjects to hold their breath while 2D cine images are acquired. This process assumes that the heart remains in the same position across all slices. However, differences in breathhold positions or patient motion introduce 3D slice misalignments. In this work, we propose an algorithm that simultaneously aligns all SA and LA slices by maximizing the pair-wise intensity agreement between their intersections. Unlike previous works, our approach is formulated as a subject-specific optimization problem and requires no prior knowledge of the underlying anatomy. We quantitatively demonstrate that the proposed method is robust against a large range of rotations and translations by synthetically misaligning 10 motion-free datasets and aligning them back using the proposed method.

  Mesh reconstruction of the cardiac anatomy from medical images is useful for shape and motion measurements and biophysics simulations. Traditional voxel-based approaches rely on pre- and post-processing that compromises image fidelity. We propose a novel explicit differentiable voxelization and slicing (DVS) algorithm that allows gradient backpropagation to a mesh from its slices.

  3D motion estimation from cine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images is important for the assessment of cardiac function and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. Most of the previous methods focus on estimating pixel-/voxel-wise motion fields in the full image space. In this work, we model the heart as a 3D geometric mesh and propose a novel deep learning-based method that can estimate 3D motion of the heart mesh from 2D short-axis CMR images.

  We present a technique for estimating the relative 3D rotation of an RGB image pair in an extreme setting.

We propose a network design that can automatically learn such implicit cues by comparing all pairs of points between the two input images.
