A method of extracting mechanical activation of the left ventricle from a sequence of contrasted X-ray fluoroscopy images is provided. The method includes: processing the image sequence to perform segmentation of the coronary veins; annotating branches of the segmented coronary veins; tracking the positions of the annotations throughout the fluoroscopy image sequence; computing the principle components of the motion of the annotations from the tracked positions; projecting the motion of the annotations to the axis corresponding to a first principle component; and analyzing the resulting motion curves to identify a latest activating region of the left ventricle.
