Abstract

In this paper, we present the use of atlas-based indexes of abnormality for the quantification of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) outcome in terms of motion. We build an atlas of normal motion from 21 healthy volunteers to which we compare 88 CRT candidates before and after the therapy. Abnormal motion is quantified locally in time and space using a statistical distance to normality, and changes induced by the therapy are related with clinical measurements of CRT outcome. Results correlate with recent clinical hypothesis about CRT response, namely that the correction of specific mechanisms responsible for cardiac dyssynchrony conditions the response to the therapy.
