Segmentation of Cardiac MR Images
Dohnalová, Petra ; Mézl, Martin (referee) ; Jiřík, Radovan (advisor)
This diploma thesis focuses on the influence of myocardial fibrosis on cardiac activity, changes in end-diastolic and end-systolic volume, as well as changes in ejection fraction. The theoretical part is focused on studying the methods used in left ventricular segmentation. The goal is then to implement an algorithm suitable for left ventricular segmentation on the supplied dataset. Based on segmentation, the effect of myocardial fibrosis on the group of rats with induced fibrosis is monitored, at the same time the data are compared with the control group of healthy rats.

Role of echocardiography in the evaluation of functional and structural changes of the myocardium
Rob, Daniel ; Linhart, Aleš (advisor) ; Pudil, Radek (referee) ; Málek, Filip (referee)
Echocardiography plays a key role in the evaluation of functional and structural changes of the heart. Fabry disease (FD) is a genetic (X-linked) lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the gene for alpha-galactosidase A. Cardiovascular involvement is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in FD. The aim of our work was to refine the diagnosis and risk stratification of Fabry cardiac involvement using echocardiography. In the first part of our retrospective project, we analysed the relationship between the uric acid level, development, and progression of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and adverse events. Our results showed a strong relationship between uric acid level and progression of LV hypertrophy, mortality, and cardiovascular events. Uric acid can be used as a marker of cardiovascular risk in FD. In the second part of our retrospective project, we analysed the diagnostic value of tissue doppler imaging (TDI) of mitral annular velocities in Fabry cardiomyopathy. Despite the lower TDI mitral annular velocities in FD, the overlap with the general population is too large to allow reliable diagnosis of FD in routine clinical practice. In the prospective study, we analysed the prevalence, characteristics, prognosis and validity of the current echocardiographic criteria for heart...
