General Information

Module Type & Category

Type: CLI

Category: CARMA

Module Description

This module creates a cardiac MRI segmentation mask called the PV Antrum Cut mask by removing the pulmonary veins (PVs) from the left atrium segmentation. The inputs are the left atrium endocardial segmentation and the left atrial endocardial wall segmentation. The output mask represents the entire left atrium endocardial layer minus the PVs. This mask can be used to calculate the early diastolic (peak) volume of the left atrium (LA).

Usage

Examples, Use Cases & Tutorials

• This module is meant to be used for removing the PV regions from the LA endocardial segmentation.
