This technique requires segmentation to isolate the myocardium. However, spatio-temporal variations of BOLD contrast, prove challenging for existing automated myocardial segmentation techniques, because they were developed for acquisitions where contrast variations in the myocardium are minimal. Appropriate feature learning mechanisms are necessary to best represent appearance and texture in CP-BOLD data. Here we propose and validate a feature learning technique based on multiscale dictionary model that learns to sparsely represent effective patterns under healthy and ischemic conditions. date: 2015-06-04 event_title: ISMRM 23st Annual Meeting event_location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada event_dates: 30 May - 5 Jun 2015 event_type: conference refereed: FALSE official_url: http://ismrm.org/15/program_files/ThuEPS01.htm#Vessel_Wall_&_Cardiovascular_Image_Processing citation: Mukhopadhyay, Anirban and Bevilacqua, Marco and Oksuz, Ilkay and Dharmakumar, Rohan and Tsaftaris, Sotirios A.
