Mise en Place et Validation d'un Logiciel de Télémédecine Permettant l'Automatisation du Traitement Des Examens IRM Des Infarctus du Myocarde en Phase Aigue

1. Scientific context:

Cardiac MRI has become a standard technique for determining the size of myocardial infarction as well as evaluating myocardial function and perfusion. However, the quantitative analysis of the images targeted on the left and right ventricles relies on computer treatments often manual so tedious and dependent on the user, or at best semi-automatic. The absence of a completely automated method limits the extraction of quantitative and reproducible parameters for each patient, which is necessary for the follow-up of patients who have had an acute myocardial infarction. 2. Objective (s):

The goal is to integrate in a telemedicine software solution (partnership with the company Covalia) an automated method of processing these data completely identical for both CHUs. This development could be made available to other UHC seeking a tool suitable for multicenter studies. 3. Materials and Methods:

An engineer will be recruited to develop algorithms for robust, reliable and ergonomic software for the study of myocardial function and perfusion. The software will be accessible by users via the internet, and will integrate all the security and personal protection constraints that a telemedicine tool requires. The telemedicine aspect will be done in partnership with the company Covalia, which obtained for its software solutions CE marking thanks to an organization ISO 13485 applied to the whole of the company.

The images used for the realization of the software will be taken from the Besançon patient examinations included in the previous PHRC (1) and will be used after anonymisation.
