Potential collaboration

[cncastillo]

Hi! I didn't know this package existed in JuliaHealth 😄. Nicely surprised! (cc @TheCedarPrince)

I am Carlos, I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford, supervised by Daniel Ennis. I think your group has presented at CIM2 (Cardiac Imaging, Mechanics, and Modeling Symposium). There is a lot of overlap with your work and what we do (cardiac MRI), so there is potential for collaboration :). I am the main developer of KomaMRI.jl, a GPU-accelerated MRI simulator. It would be really nice to do MRI simulations of your realistic hearts, specially considering fiber orientations, the magnetic field generated by the heart, or complex motion.

We have some cool examples of cardiac MRI simulations here: JuliaHealth/KomaMRI.jl#539 (comment)

It seems that you are doing a re-write of the package, so I assume you are quite busy, but let me know if this sounds interesting. I am always available on the Julia Slack.

Cheers!

Hi Carlos and thanks for reaching out!

Interestingly, I had a similar idea of using my simulations in tandem with KomaMRI, as I follow the project for some time already, so there is definitely space for collaboration on that matter! Right, we have presented some preliminary work on prestress in the heart. However, we are still in the progress of developing a validated cardiac mechanics model tho. If you give us a little bit more time to push this one over the finish line, then I am happy to work together on this!

Very Best,
Dennis
