Abstract

A material identification algorithm is described for determining the in vivo material properties of the diastolic myocardium. A nonlinear optimization algorithm is used to solve a least squares objective function. The objective function relates the least squares difference of model-predicted displacements obtained from a finite element (FE) solution to measured displacements, obtained in the in vivo case from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiofrequency (RF) tissue-tagging. The algorithm is validated using a simple analytic test case by examining the effects of noise in the measured data and numerical error in the FE solution. Non-homogeneous, linearly elastic and isotropic materials parameters are determined for a normal adult mongrel dog.
