Abstract
Left-ventricle functional analysis is of paramount importance for the assessment of coronary artery disease. Non-invasive coronary artery imaging using multiple-detector computed tomography (MDCT) provides a wealth of data concerning multiple cardiac phases. These have still to be explored in order to assess if further insight is possible regarding regional and functional analysis of the left ventricle leading to a more informed diagnosis and prognosis. Following on previous work regarding left-ventricle segmentation of all available cardiac phases in MDCT exams this article presents several parameters characterizing global and regional left ventricle function, computed for several cardiac phases and represented over time. Synchronized viewing of the different parameters is also supported.
