Abstract
Methods and apparatus to estimate ventricular volumes are disclosed. An example computer-implemented method includes preparing a sample set using a prior probability model for a left ventricle and a right ventricle and using a likelihood function to assign a weight to each sample within the sample set. The example method also includes, based on the weighted sample set, determining an area of the right ventricle and the left ventricle.
