MYOCARDIAL CLUSTERIFICATION AND ORIENTATION

摘要

A cardiac imaging method includes acquiring a projection image representation which includes a myocardium (SI 00). The myocardium is segmented and a mask is generated (SI 02). The mask is optimized (SI 04). A blood pool is determined from the optimized mask (SI 06) and the mask is skeletonized based on a clusterfication of the myocardial slices (S108). The center of mass is determined (SI 10) from the blood pool and the skeletonized mask. Myocardial parameters are determined (SI 12) from the skeletonized mask.
