A semiautomatic method for rapid segmentation of velocity-encoded myocardial magnetic resonance imaging data.

abstract：:For patients with impaired breath-hold capacity and/or arrhythmias, real-time cine MRI may be more clinically useful than breath-hold cine MRI. However, commercially available real-time cine MRI methods using parallel imaging typically yield relatively poor spatio-temporal resolution due to their low image acquisition...
