Abstract
A cardiac imaging method includes acquiring a projection image representation which includes a myocardium (S). The myocardium is segmented and a mask is generated (S). The mask is optimized (S). A blood pool is determined from the optimized mask (S) and the mask is skeletonized based on a clusterfication of the myocardial slices (S). The center of mass is determined (S) from the blood pool and the skeletonized mask. Myocardial parameters are determined (S) from the skeletonized mask.
