SiSSR: Simultaneous Subdivision Surface Registration for the Quantification of Cardiac Function from Computed Tomography in Canines

Regional cardiac dysfunction commonly precedes changes in global metrics such as ejection fraction (EF), and is useful in the characterization of subtle impairment and monitoring of treatment response (Tee et  al., 2013). Techniques developed for cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), including harmonic phase (HARP) imaging (Osman et al., 1999), strain encoded (SENC) imaging (Osman et al., 2001), and displacement encoding with stimulated echos (DENSE) imaging (Aletras et al., 1999), have enabled t he measurement of biomarkers for regional cardiac function, including strain, strain rate, and torsion.
