Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Imaging
  • Medical Physics
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Indicator dilution theory is crucial for cardiovascular parameter measurement.
  • Dynamic imaging with contrast agents offers minimally invasive assessment.
  • Manual region of interest (ROI) definition in contrast-enhanced sequences is time-consuming and operator-dependent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an automated method for extracting indicator dilution curves (IDCs).
  • To overcome the limitations of manual ROI definition in dynamic imaging.
  • To enable efficient and accurate cardiac quantification.

Main Methods:

  • Exploiting time-domain correlation between pixels for automatic ROI identification.
  • Utilizing principal component analysis (PCA) to reduce dimensionality of time-intensity curves.
  • Applying clustering algorithms to group pixels and define ROIs.
  • Validating the method on dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) and ultrasound (DCE-US) data.

Main Results:

  • The automated method successfully extracted IDCs comparable to manual annotations.
  • Tracer kinetic parameters derived from the automated method agreed with manual results.
  • The approach demonstrated robustness to noise in simulated data.
  • The method proved effective on clinical DCE-MRI and DCE-US recordings.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed method automates IDC extraction, significantly reducing manual effort.
  • It provides a clinically useful preprocessing step for cardiac quantification.
  • This technique enhances the efficiency and reproducibility of cardiovascular parameter measurements.
