Synopsis

Cine DENSE provides both myocardial contours and intramyocardial displacements. We propose to use DENSE to train deep networks to predict intramyocardial motion from contour motion. Two workflows were implemented: a two-step FlowNet2-based framework with a through-time correction network and a 3D (2D+t) Unet framework. Both networks depicted cardiac contraction and abnormal motion patterns. The 3D Unet showed excellent reliability for global circumferential strain (Ecc) and good reliability for segmental Ecc, and it outperformed commercial FT for both global and segmental Ecc.
