- This study formed the underlying idea for a research proposal which was successful in securing a British Heart Foundation Project Award (BHF Grant PG/19/78/34733; contact: Prof D. Francis, Imperial College). The study introduced a new approach for quantifying heart deformation (strain), which has great potential to improve the evaluation of cardiac function in clinical practice. The proposed method replaces the multi-step processing of cardiac images with a single multidimensional optimisation problem that uses raw images and inferences simultaneously, thereby eliminating data loss and the secondary auto-editing steps that derive inter-vendor discrepancies, which has been the Achilles’ Heels of Strain Imaging.
