Abstract: A medical imaging study comprising a plurality of medical images having been acquired by an imaging apparatus for a given patient are received, and a plurality of data arrays representing the plurality of medical images are generated. A request to display a given image is received from a client device. Benchmark testing with the client device is performed to obtain an indication of a performance of at least one of the client device and a communication link. A given compression algorithm from a set of compression algorithms is selected based on the indication of the performance, and used to compress a set of data arrays comprising a representation of the given image to obtain a set of compressed arrays. The set of compressed arrays are transmitted to the client device, the set of compressed arrays comprising the representation of the given image to be generated by a browser application.

Abstract: A method to determine myocardial wall dynamics and tissue characteristics using a method provided to determine myocardial wall dynamics and tissue characteristics using a 3D model of the myocardium. The method comprises generating an epicardial surface and an endocardial surface from a plurality of SAX and LAX slices; identifying a plurality of nodes on the epicardial and endocardial surfaces or in between these surfaces within the myocardium in a reference frame; defining a set of coefficients, each coefficient being associated with the respective location of the corresponding node in a phase; determining the coefficients and in this way determining the model; determining the myocardial wall dynamics in terms of strain values and displacements.
