From: Visualizing regional myocardial oxygenation changes with statistically optimal colormaps

Figure 3

Color-coded end-systolic adenosine images without (AD) and with LCX stenosis (SS) from the two controlled canine studies are shown in panels (A) and (B), respectively. Only the myocardium was color coded. The segmentation masks were found using the algorithm in Tsaftaris, et al. ICIP 2008. The corresponding optimized colormaps are also shown. The yellow hues are for those values that are larger than the threshold as shown in Figure 2 and described in text. This method allows the observer to rapidly assess the presence of disease, as well as potentially identify the section of the coronary tree that is stenotic on the basis of BOLD MRI.
