Cardiac Muscle Compartment Modelling for Finite Element Diffusion Simulation
The project aims to develop a compartment model for the cardiac muscle including the four major compartments (myocytes, mural cells, collagen and blood vessels). This model allows to simulated diffusion by solving local partial differential equations (PDE) with finite elements. This simulation approach has been established in diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) for the brain. You will be working on translating it to cardiac DTI.

Cardiac Diffusion Tensor Imaging (cDTI) Inference on Digital Twins
The project aims to utilize respiratory motion to estimate sample points between slices and thus increase spatial coverage for cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (cDTI). By using the respiratory navigator data, you will map in-vivo cDTI data to a 3D digital twin mesh and implement a tensor estimation to estimate sample points between slices based on spatial smoothness regularization. You then perform an accuracy evaluation on simulated data.
