Abstract / Description of output

Blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) imaging of the heart has been shown to assess ischemia at rest or benign non-invasive stress. However, since BOLD changes are not readily visible to the naked eye, post processing and analysis is necessary. But, BOLD contrast is modulated by the presence of disease and also by the imaging protocol and sequence, posing significant challenges in creating robust algorithms for analyzing such data.

We discuss recent approaches for automatically segmenting and registering cardiac-phase resolved CP-BOLD MRI studies.
