Objective

Developing reliable and accurate automatic method for full quantification of cardiac LV for each frame in the short axis view cardiac MR sequences. The quantifications include the following LV indices.

Name	Description
A1, A2	cavity area and myocardium area, in mm^2.
D1~D3	dimensions of cavity of three directions (IS-AL, I-A, and IL-AS) in mm.
RWT1~RWT6	regional wall thickness in mm, staring from the anterior-septal segment in counter clockwise direction, i.e., IS, I, IL, AL, A, AS.
Phase	binary variable for cardiac phase, 1 means systolic phase and 0 means diastolic.
