1. A method for generating an image including functional, anatomical, and physiological images of a heart of a patient, comprising:
- processing a plurality of sets of magnetic resonance (MR) image data of a heart to generate a functional image, an anatomical image, and a physiological image of the heart, the plurality of sets of MR image data including a set of cine image data and one or more sets of contrast-enhanced image data,the functional image being generated from the set of cine image data and being a contraction timing map that includes contraction timing and identifies areas of dyssynchrony, andthe physiological image and the anatomical image being generated from the one or more sets of contrast-enhanced image data, the physiological image including regional scar distribution;
generating an integrated image of the heart, the integrated image including functional, anatomical, and physiological images, the integrated image being based on the functional image on which the anatomical and physiological images are mapped;
determining one or more optimal lead placement locations for one or more leads of an implantable device; and
identifying the one or more optimal lead placement locations on the integrated image.

Abstract
Systems, methods and computer-readable storage mediums relate to generating an image that includes functional, anatomical, and physiological images. The generated image may be an integrated image based on the functional image on which the anatomical and physiological images are mapped. The generated image may indicate more than one location of optimal lead placement. The generated image may be useful in pre-planning cardiac intervention procedures.
