Patent Images
1. A method for generating views of a heart along anatomically useful planes, comprising:
- generating a prescription image of a heart;
receiving data regarding a position of at least one landmark on the prescription image to define a series of slices through the heart along at least one anatomical plane;
generating a plurality of images; and
saving the generated images.
