The Application of Regularization Method and Non-rigid matching in Dynamic Medical Image Analysis[J]. Journal of Image and Graphics, 2003, 8(5): 540. DOI: 10.11834/jig.200305179.
This paper carried out a study on motion quantitative analysis
mainly aimed at two dynamic medical images (heart-echocardiograph and vessel-cineangiography)
with the regularization method of computer vision and the clinic knowledge of cardiac wall and coronary vessel motions
and thus provided doctors with a useful tool to the diagnosis of cardiac disease. Our method first carries out a block-matching algorithm using the Lagrange operator to estimate the initial motion vectors. Then for the application of heart motion analysis
a Spring system model is employed to optimize the global smoothness; for the application of blood flow analysis
an assumption of local motion consistency is given
which offers a primal solution of this problem. An application software has also been completed. Experimental result shows that our algorithm is more efficient than the existing methods.
