Abstract
A method is provided for determining a personalized cardiac model, including steps of (i) computing a velocity time profile of a blood flow across a selected area of the heart or the aorta during at least one cardiac cycle, using data acquired with a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) device; (ii) performing a segmentation of the velocity time profile so as to identify cardiac phases according to a predefined generic cardiac model; and (iii) computing normalized time location and/or duration of the cardiac phases within cardiac cycles so as to define a personalized cardiac model.
