Electrocardiographic imaging is an imaging modality that has been introduced recently to help in visualizing the electrical activity of the heart and consequently guide the ablation therapy for ventricular arrhythmias. One of the main challenges of this modality is that the electrocardiographic signals recorded at the torso surface are contaminated with noise from different sources. Low amplitude leads are more affected by noise due to their low peak-to-peak amplitude. In this paper, we have studied 6 datasets from two torso tank experiments (Bordeaux and Utah experiments) to investigate the impact of removing or interpolating these low amplitude leads on the inverse reconstruction of cardiac electrical activity. Body surface potential maps used were calculated by using the full set of recorded leads, removing 1, 6, 11, 16, or 21 low amplitude leads, or interpolating 1, 6, 11, 16, or 21 low amplitude leads using one of the three interpolation methods – Laplacian interpolation, hybrid interpolation, or the inverse-forward interpolation. The epicardial potential maps and activation time maps were computed from these body surface potential maps and compared with those recorded directly from the heart surface in the torso tank experiments. There was no significant change in the potential maps and activation time maps after the removal of up to 11 low amplitude leads. Laplacian interpolation and hybrid interpolation improved the inverse reconstruction in some datasets and worsened it in the rest. The inverse forward interpolation of low amplitude leads improved it in two out of 6 datasets and at least remained the same in the other datasets. It was noticed that after doing the inverse-forward interpolation, the selected lambda value was closer to the optimum lambda value that gives the inverse solution best correlated with the recorded one.

STATISTICAL MODELING OF THE GEOMETRIC ERROR IN CARDIAC ELECTRICAL IMAGING Aydin, Umit; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim (2009-07-01) Kalman filter approach provides a natural way to include the spatio-temporal prior information in cardiac electrical imaging. This study focuses on the performance of Kalman filter approach with geometric errors present in inverse Electrocardiography (ECG) problem. The geometric errors considered here are the wrong determination of the heart's size and location. In addition to Kalman filtering, we also compare the performances of Tikhonov regularization and Bayesian MAP estimation when geometric errors are ...
Analysis of magnetic resonance imaging in inhomogenous main magnetic field Arpınar, Volkan Emre; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) In this study, analysis of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in inhomogeneous main magnetic field is conducted. A numerical model based on Bloch equation is implemented for MRI, to understand effect of inhomogeneous magnetic field to Magnetic Resonance (MR) signal. Using the model, relations between inhomogeneity levels in main magnetic field with energy, decay time, bandwidth of the FID signal is investigated. Also relation between the magnetic field inhomogeneity and field of view is determined. To simulat...
The Effect of context luminance on contrast perception Pamir, Zahide; Acartürk, Cengiz; Boyacı, Hüseyin; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2014) The present study has employed psychophysics and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) methodologies. The aim of the study is to investigate the role of bottom-up and top-down processing of luminance in contrast perception. In particular, since it is thought that visual illusions occur as a result of top-down processing by means of visual context, the present study investigates how luminance in context affects contrast perception by using brightness illusion. In other words, the purpose of the study ...
A multiscale model for eccentric and concentric cardiac growth through sarcomerogenesis Göktepe, Serdar; Parker, Kit; Kuhl, Ellen (2010-08-07) We present a novel computational model for maladaptive cardiac growth in which kinematic changes of the cardiac chambers are attributed to alterations in cytoskeletal architecture and in cellular morphology. We adopt the concept of finite volume growth characterized through the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into an elastic part and a growth part. The functional form of its growth tensor is correlated to sarcomerogenesis, the creation and deposition of new sarcomere units. In respo...
A Novel Data-Adaptive Regression Framework Based on Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines for Electrocardiographic Imaging Onak, Onder Nazm; Erenler, Taha; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim (2021-01-01) IEEEObjective: Noninvasive electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) is a promising tool for revealing crucial cardiac electrical events with diagnostic potential. We propose a novel nonparametric regression framework based on multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) for ECGI. Methods: The inverse problem was solved by using the regression model trained with body surface potentials (BSP) and corresponding electrograms (EGM). Simulated data as well as experimental data from torso-tank experiments were used ...
