by Oscar Camara, Tommaso Mansi, Mihaela Pop, Kawal Rhode, Maxime Sermesant

Overview

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Statistical Atlases and Computational Models of the Heart: Imaging and Modelling Challenges, STACOM 2014, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2014, in Boston, MA, USA, in September 2014. The 30 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics such as sections on cardiac image processing; atlas construction; statistical modelling of cardiac function across different patient populations; cardiac mapping; cardiac computational physiology; model customization; atlas based functional analysis; ontological schemata for data and results; integrated functional and structural analyses; as well as the pre-clinical and clinical applicability of these methods.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Pooja Sethi, MD (East Tennessee State University Quillen College of Medicine)
Description: This book constitutes the post-conference proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Statistical Atlases and Computational Models of the Heart: Imaging and Modelling Challenges, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2014, in Boston, in September 2014.
Purpose: There has been considerable progress in cardiac image analysis techniques, cardiac atlases, and computational models, which integrate data from large scale databases of heart shape, function, and physiology. Several efforts are now established to provide web accessible structural and functional atlases of the normal and pathological heart for clinical, educational, and research purposes. These approaches are only effectively developed through full research scope across imaging and modeling communities. The workshop and the submissions in this book provide a forum of discussion for further development of statistical analysis and computational imaging and modeling of the heart.
Audience: The book is aimed primarily at students, health professionals, and researchers who are looking to enhance their knowledge of further advances in cardiac imaging and statistical models of the heart.
Features: The 30 papers in this book were chosen from numerous submissions and cover topics such as cardiac image processing, atlas construction, statistical modeling of cardiac function across different patient populations, cardiac mapping, cardiac computational physiology, model customization, atlas-based functional analysis, ontological schemata for data and results, integrated functional and structural analyses, and preclinical and clinical applicability of these methods. The book is organized into three sections. There is a special focus on two imaging and modeling challenges: motion correction challenge and LV function challenge. Section one, MoCo (motion correction) challenge includes six papers that focus on using rigid and nonrigid registration techniques in correction of motion in dynamic contrast MR imaging and to test the hypothesis that there is no significant difference between the two methods. Section two, LV mechanics challenge includes eight papers that focus on LV mechanics and compare the behavior of different methods to stimulate systolic and diastolic mechanics of the left ventricle. The data include mesh point clouds and binary masks defining LV geometry. Geometrics at all three states of cardiac cycle are given, diastasis, end-diastole, and end systole. This enables discussion of which boundary and what assumption should be made for heart stiffness and contractility. Section three contains 14 papers containing state-of-art cardiac image analysis techniques, computational models that integrate data from large-scale databases of heart shape, and heart function and physiology.
Assessment: This is a valuable resource for those interested in keeping abreast of the latest advances in cardiac imaging statistical models and will serve to accelerate progress in the important area of heart structure and functional analysis.
