A novel data-driven method for the analysis and reconstruction of cardiac cine MRI.

Cardiac cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be considered the optimal criterion for measuring cardiac function. This imaging technique can provide us with detailed information about cardiac structure, tissue composition and even blood flow, which makes it highly used in medical science. But due to the image time acquisition and several other factors the MRI sequences can easily get corrupted, causing radiologists to misdiagnose 40 million people worldwide each and every single year.

Higher order dynamic mode decomposition: From fluid dynamics to heart disease analysis.

In this work, we study in detail the performance of Higher Order Dynamic Mode Decomposition (HODMD) technique when applied to echocardiography images. HODMD is a data-driven method generally used in fluid dynamics and in the analysis of complex non-linear dynamical systems modeling several complex industrial applications. In this paper we apply HODMD, for the first time to the authors knowledge, for patterns recognition in echocardiography, specifically, echocardiography data taken from several mice, either in healthy conditions or afflicted by different cardiac diseases.

Numerical investigation of galloping instabilities in Z-shaped profiles.

Aeroelastic effects are relatively common in the design of modern civil constructions such as office blocks, airport terminal buildings, and factories. Typical flexible structures exposed to the action of wind are shading devices, normally slats or louvers. A typical cross-section for such elements is a Z-shaped profile, made out of a central web and two-side wings.
