  • Patent number: 12171539
    Abstract: Rapid quantitative evaluations of heart function are carried out with strain measurements from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images using a circuit at least partially onboard or in communication with an MRI Scanner and in communication with the at least one display, the circuit including at least one processor that: obtains a plurality of series of MRI images of long and short axis planes of a heart of a patient, with each series of the MRI images is taken over a different single beat of the heart of the patient during an image session that is five minutes or less of active scan time and with the patient in a bore of the MRI Scanner; measures strain of myocardial heart tissue of the heart of the patient based on the plurality of series of MRI images of the heart of the patient; and generates longitudinal and circumferential heart models with a plurality of adjacent compartments, wherein the compartments are color-coded based on the measured strain.

  • Patent number: 11872019
    Abstract: Methods for providing MRI-derived strain measurements are described. Some methods include calculating a first set of strain measurements for each of a plurality of different segments of a heart over an entire single cardiac cycle from obtained MRI image data. Then, for each segment of the plurality of different segments, electronically identifying a peak train value and associated time point of the cardiac cycle in the first set of strain measurements; and electronically adjusting the first set of strain measurements at each time point of the cardiac cycle using the identified peak strain value as a reference peak strain value to thereby provide strain measurements that are adjusted relative to a defined time during the cardiac cycle irrespective of when signal acquisition of the obtained MRI image data was initiated during the cardiac cycle. Risk scores, contouring review, contraction pattern on a 3-D cardiac model are also disclosed.
