Abstract

Abstract: A method is introduced for fusing the short-axis and long-axis cardiac MR images into an isotropic volume image. A volume image obtained this method contains the left ventricular (LV) cavity in one piece, facilitating measurement of its shape and volume. The main goal in this image fusion is to reconstruct the LV cavity in volume form and in high resolution. The accuracy of the method is measured using a synthetic image. Examples of image fusion using real images are also presented.
