(Panel A): Myocardial segmentation during dobutamine stress CMR. Panel A: Strategy for obtaining 3 apical (3-chamber, 4-chamber, and 2-chamber) and 3 short-axis (basal, middle, and apical) cardiovascular magnetic resonance views of the left ventricle. On each image the myocardium is gray and the blood pool white. The white solid line on the coronal locator, and the white dotted lines on the 3-chamber view and basal short-axis view indicate the slice positions for obtaining the subsequent views demarcated by the white arrows.
