Abstract
The aorta and left atrium are localized from magnetic resonance data. The locations of the aorta and left atrium are detected jointly. The aorta and the left atrium are, at least in part, treated as one object. The detection may be from data representing a two-dimensional region. The two-dimensional region may be determined by first detecting the left ventricle from data representing a volume.
