Background:

Cardiac diffusion imaging is crucial for understanding heart structure and function.
Existing tractography methods often struggle with noise and low resolution in cardiac data.
Developing robust methods is essential for accurate in vivo imaging of the heart.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a robust global tractography method for cardiac diffusion imaging.
To improve the accuracy and reliability of fiber structure representation in the myocardium.
To address limitations of existing local tractography techniques.

Main Methods:

A graph-based approach is used to represent myocardial fiber structure.
Graph energy minimization incorporates data fidelity, fiber density, and curvature.
A variant of simulated annealing is employed for optimization, ensuring convergence.

Main Results:

The algorithm successfully handles low angular resolution and noisy data.
Demonstrated superior performance compared to existing Bayesian and graph-based methods.
Effective in processing synthetic and real cardiac diffusion imaging data.

Conclusions:

The proposed global tractography method is robust to noise and avoids drawbacks of local techniques.
It is a promising tool for in vivo diffusion imaging of moving organs.
The global approach facilitates multiresolution analysis by adjusting trajectory density.
