Advances in the quantification, analysis and display of thallium myocardial images
A system has been developed for aiding the analysis of Thallium-201 myocardial images. The system automatically localizes the outer boundary of the myocardium using novel ellipse fitting algorithms, allows convolution and morphological filtering of the /sup 201/Th images, and provides an extensible platform for the investigation of automated protocols for quantitative analysis. The system has the capability to perform analyses on the localized regions and generate a three-dimensional display from the cardiac projections.<<ETX>>
