Segmentation of LV myocardium and infarcted tissue. Example segmentation of a mouse heart; endo and epi-cardial borders are initially defined in order to calculate LVM and all necessary functional parameters from the cine data, shown in (a) on the end-diastolic frame. The LV myocardial boundaries are then also used to aid segmentation of infarct area using the short axis LGE images (b).
