Cardiac motion is governed by the contraction and relaxation of billions of cardiomyocytes. In our lab we investigate how motion across scales results in the macro scale motion we can observe in medical images. Linking cardiac motion and mechanics across scales allows a better understanding of cardiac function and dysfunction. To build and validate the computational models needed for probing the mechanisms responsible for cardiac motion, we analyze high quality and high resolution preclinical images.
Project Dates
Start Date: 1/8/2024 - End Date: 4/27/2024
Students Needed
Type of Project
Team
Student Responsibilities
The successful applicant will help with processing existing magnetic resonance imaging data, starting from image segmentation. Data analysis, software development, and strain calculation will also be part of this project at a later stage. You will work on a team with a graduate student.
Time Commitment
10 hour(s)
Student Requirements
A strong commitment, great attention to details, positive attitude, and enthusiasm are necessary. Basic coding/programming experience (e.g., Matlab) are a plus.
