Figure 1 Three-Dimensional LV Reconstruction Based on MRI Data
(A) Short-axis view centered on the left ventricle (LV) with the 32 radial sectors grid and the manually drawn contours of the LV endocardium (green), LV epicardium (dark blue), and LV scar (red). (B) Endocardial and epicardial LV volumes and scar volume are automatically reconstructed using an isosurface algorithm. (C and D) Resulting color-coded three-dimensional map (C, left anterior oblique view; D, right anterior oblique view) of the LV endocardial surface: pale green represents healthy tissue whereas other colors indicate myocardial infarction with various intramural involvements. MRI = magnetic resonance imaging.
