DT-MRI based heart muscle fiber reconstruction
DT-MRI based heart muscle fiber reconstruction and visualization
Leonid Zhukov and Alan H. Barr
This page describes the application of advanced tensor visualization techniques to study 3D diffusion tensor MRI data of a heart. We use scalar and tensor glyph visualization methods to investigate the data and apply a moving least squares (MLS) fiber tracing method to recover and visualize the helical structure and the orientation of the heart muscle fibers.
