Abstract :
One of the next challenges of DTI in cardiac domain is to assess moving fibers. An important bottleneck is the acquisition time due to the angular resolution required to extract accurate myocardial fibers. Therefore, the creation of a method able to extract reliable fibers from low angular resolution is a key point to accelerate DTI acquisition, consequently a considerable step toward temporal fibers. In this study we introduce a graph-based method for fiber tracking and evaluate its performances.
