Abstract

Assessment of soft tissue in normal and abnormal joint motion today gets feasible by acquiring time series of 3D MRI images. However, slice-by-slice viewing of such 4D kinematic images is cumbersome, and does not allow appreciating the movement in a convenient way. Simply presenting slice data in a cine-loop will be compromised by through-plane displacements of anatomy and "jerks" between frames, both of which hamper visual analysis of the movement. To overcome these limitations, we have implemented a demonstrator for viewing 4D kinematic MRI datasets. It allows to view any user defined anatomical structure from any viewing perspective in real-time. Smoothly displaying the movement in a cine-loop is realized by image post processing, fixing any user defined anatomical structure after image acquisition.
