Abstract (English): Image analysis is a useful tool for the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of several diseases. The image processing techniques allow noninvasive quantitative assessment of human pathophysiology, providing morphological, functional and dynamical information of the diferent anatomical structures. Recent technological progress on the diferent modes of observation have increased the quality of patient treatment, through the use of novel processing techniques of three-dimensional images. However, the acquisition of these dynamical three-dimensional images leads to the generation of large volumes of data, from which the anatomical structures are extracted and analyzed, considering the clinical context restrictions. Currently, sophisticated tools for extracting, three-dimensional visualization and quantification are used in clinical routine, but unfortunately, these tools require significant interaction of the specialist. As a result, a set of new methods are available to the clinician in order to accurately assess the anatomy and pathophysiology from three-dimensional images, which represents a certain progress in the process leading to obtain a complete description of the heart from a single test.

Abstract (Spanish): El análisis de imágenes constituye una herramienta útil para el diagnóstico, tratamiento y monitoreo de diversas enfermedades. Las técnicas de procesamiento de imágenes permiten la evaluación cuantitativa no-invasiva de la fisiopatología humana, proporcionando información morfológica, funcional y dinámica de diferentes estructuras anatómicas. Los progresos tecnológicos recientes sobre las diferentes modalidades de observación han permitido incrementar la calidad del tratamiento al paciente, gracias al uso de técnicas modernas de procesamiento de imágenes tridimensionales. Sin embargo, la adquisición de estas imágenes tridimensionales dinámicas conduce a la producción de grandes volúmenes de datos para procesar, a partir de los cuales, las estructuras anatómicas deben ser extraidas y analizadas, respetando las restricciones impuestas por el contexto clínico. Herramientas de extracción, de visualización tridimensional y de cuantificación son usadas actualmente dentro de la rutina clínica pero, desafortunadamente, necesitan de una interacción importante con el médico. Estos elementos justifican el desarrollo de nuevos algoritmos eficaces y robustos para la extracción de estructuras y estimación de diferentes parámetros clínicos a partir de imágenes tridimensionales. Como resultado colocar a disposición del personal clínico nuevos medios para evaluar, de manera precisa, la anatomía y la fisiopatología a partir de imágenes tridimensionales, representa un avance certero dentro de la investigación conducente a obtener una descripción completa del corazón a partir de un único examen.
