Although myocardial deformation imaging is often used in clinical practice, to date, the spatial resolution of any speckle tracking algorithm has not been tested. The minimum size of the resolvable dysfunctional areas with these techniques remains unknown while this is relevant for reliable clinical diagnosis. The current study therefore aimed...

The use of synthetic sequences is one of the most promising tools for advanced in silico evaluation of the quantification of cardiac deformation and strain through 3D ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. In this paper, we propose the first simulation framework which allows the generation of realistic 3D synthetic cardiac US and...

This paper presents the Virtual Imaging Platform (VIP), a platform accessible at http://vip.creatis.insa-lyon.fr to facilitate the sharing of object models and medical image simulators, and to provide access to distributed computing and storage resources. A complete overview is presented, describing the ontologies designed to share models in a...
