To do this, they used two cutting-edge heart scanning techniques: cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (cDTI), a type of MRI scan that shows how individual heart muscle cells are organised and packed ...

本研究针对心脏扩散张量成像（cDTI）中回波平面成像（EPI）读码导致的图像失真问题，由研究人员系统评估了FSL TOPUP与TORTOISE DR-BUDDI两种校正技术。结果表明，TOPUP在几何保真度（DSC=0.86, AHD=1.33 mm）和参数稳定性（MD=1.64 μm2/ms, FA=0.26）方面均优于DR-BUDDI，为cDTI精 ...

MRI images of the hearts of a healthy volunteer (left), individual with HCM gene but no symptoms (middle), patient with overt HCM (right). Top: quantitative perfusion images showing defects in heart ...

Combining two types of heart scan techniques could help doctors to detect the deadly heart condition hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) before symptoms and signs on conventional tests appear. Combining ...

Anew robotic heart can contract and expand with a remarkably lifelike beat, researchers reported yesterday (January 29) in Science Robotics. The researchers created the robotic heart as a tool to ...

Combining tests of myocardial microstructure and microvascular function could enable earlier detection of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) before symptoms and signs appear using conventional tests, ...

The research, funded by the British Heart Foundation and published in the journal Circulation, opens the prospect of treating the condition at the earliest stages. Being able to detect HCM earlier ...
