Dynamic Monitoring and Characterization of Pelvic by 3D Ultrafast MRI

Dynamic Monitoring and Characterization of Pelvic by 3D Ultrafast MRI

Pelvic floor disorders affect a large population of women and are responsible for a significant impairment in their quality of life, but the pathophysiology of these disorders is still poorly understood.

The project proposes to define new ultra-fast 3D MRI sequences to capture the movements of the main pelvic organs. Visualization of 3D volumes is of great importance to clinicians, but data size hinders clinical use.

This study is the first to propose a dynamic 3D representation of pelvic organs, together with quantitative estimates of the deformations undergone.

The method is based on four steps: dynamic acquisition, organ segmentation, temporal reconstruction, quantification and visualization of deformations.

The D3-Pelvis project responds to the challenge of "technologies for health" with dynamic 3D MRI acquisition and 3D modeling, offering prospects for diagnostic aids and simulators.
