A 3D automated method based on Laplace's equation can accurately quantify regional myocardial thickening from cardiac MRI, correlating well with expert visual scoring.
Prasad et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Myocardial wall thickening assessment (n=8). 3D automated method using Laplace's equation vs. Standard 17-segment 6-point visual scoring was evaluated on Correlation between average thickening obtained using Laplace and summed segmental visual scores (r=-0.8, p=<0.0001). A 3D automated method using Laplace's equation to quantify myocardial thickening showed a strong negative correlation with standard visual scoring (r=-0.8, p<0.0001).
