  • QUANTITATIVE DYNAMIC MRI (QDMRI) ANALYSIS AND VIRTUAL GROWING CHILD (VGC) SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING RESPIRATORY ANOMALIES
    Publication number: 20230050512
    Abstract: A method of analyzing thoracic insufficiency syndrome (TIS) in a subject by performing quantitative dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (QdMRI) analysis. The QdMRI analysis includes performing four-dimensional (4D) image construction of a TIS subject's thoracic cavity. The 4D image includes a sequence of two dimensional (2D) images of the TIS subject's thoracic cavity over a respiratory cycle of the TIS subject. The QdMRI analysis also includes segmenting a region of interest (ROI) within the 4D image, determining TIS measurements within the ROI, comparing the TIS measurements to normal measurements determined from ROIs in 4D images of the thoracic cavities of normal subjects that are not afflicted by TIS, and outputting quantitative markers indicating deviation of the thoracic cavity of the TIS subject relative to the thoracic cavities of the normal subjects.
