Method and apparatus for automatically adjusting user input left ventricle points
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for optimizing user input points that identify points within an image of a left ventricle of a heart, the method comprising:
- identifying user input points on a single image, wherein the user input points comprise an apical point, a left basal point and a right basal point positioned proximate to an endocardium of a left ventricle using a processor;
determining an adjusted apical point, using the left and right basal points, the adjusted apical point based on at least an autocorrelation of points located on a line defined by the left and right basal points, in the single image proximate to the apical point using the processor; and
displaying, on a display device, the adjusted apical point on the single image.

Abstract
A method and system for optimizing user input points that identify points within an image of a left ventricle of a heart includes identifying user input points on an image. The user input points include an apical point and left and right basal points positioned proximate to an endocardium of a left ventricle. An adjusted apical point is determined based on at least an autocorrelation of points in the image proximate to the apical point. The adjusted apical point is displayed on the image.
