  • Non-invasive systems and methods for the determination of cardiac injury using a characterizing portion of a voxel histogram
    Publication number: 20080004521
    Abstract: Methods, systems and circuits predict cardiotoxicity induced cardiac injury prior to an irreversible state by electronically generating at least one histogram of mean intensities of voxels/pixels in an MRI image of a left ventricle myocardium and electronically determining a likelihood of cardiac injury due to cardiotoxicity based on data from the at least one histogram.

  • CARDIAC VISUALIZATION SYSTEMS FOR DISPLAYING 3-D IMAGES OF CARDIAC VOXEL INTENSITY DISTRIBUTIONS WITH OPTIONAL PHYSICIAN INTERACTIVE BOUNDARY TRACING TOOLS
    Publication number: 20070236491
    Abstract: Physician interactive workstations with global cardiac voxel distribution visualization may also include one or more of a 3-D color scale image of a population of voxel in the heart and/or an electronic boundary-tracing tool configured to accept user input to electronically define at least one boundary of a target region of a heart in a medical image of a patient on a display. The workstation may be configured to evaluate intensity of voxels associated with tissue within the defined boundary of the target region of the heart whereby cardiotoxicity is evaluated.
