Magnetic Resonance Imaging01:24

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

6.6K
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Anatomy of the Heart01:27

Anatomy of the Heart

110.4K
The human heart is made up of three layers of tissue that are surrounded by the pericardium, a membrane that protects and confines the heart. The outermost layer, closest to the pericardium, is the epicardium. The pericardial cavity separates the pericardium from the epicardium. Beneath the epicardium is the myocardium, the middle layer, and the endocardium, the innermost layer. There are four chambers of the heart: the right atrium, the right ventricle, the left atrium, and the left ventricle.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System IV: CMRI

134
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, or CMRI, is a non-invasive diagnostic test that employs a magnetic field and radiofrequency waves to create precise images of the heart and arteries. It provides comprehensive information about cardiac anatomy, function, perfusion, and tissue characterization without ionizing radiation.IndicationsCMRI diagnoses various heart conditions, including tissue damage from heart attacks, ischemic heart disease, myocarditis, aortic issues (tears, aneurysms,...

Main Methods:

  • Manual segmentation of in vitro human heart MRI scans to create 3D anatomical structures with realistic electrophysiology.
  • Utilizing the Abubu.js library for interactive coding to solve the OVVR human ventricular cell model and its FDA extension within these structures.
  • Implementing an interactive parallel approach leveraging a local PC's GPU for accelerated computation.

Main Results:

  • Successfully simulated reentrant wave dynamics in real time within detailed human heart structures.
  • Demonstrated wave propagation through fine anatomical features like trabeculae and pectinate muscles.
  • Provided new insights into mechanisms perpetuating arrhythmias within specific cardiac microstructures.

Conclusions:

  • Interactive, GPU-accelerated simulations offer a powerful tool for studying cardiac arrhythmias in anatomically realistic models.
  • Fine anatomical structures play a significant role in perpetuating arrhythmias, influencing the planning of ablation and defibrillation strategies.
  • This approach enhances our understanding of arrhythmia mechanisms and informs the development of targeted therapeutic interventions.
