Module Description

This module performs the segmentation of the left atrial scarring tissue from MR images. Assume that the endocardium of the left atrium is provided. The module starts with searching for the left atrial wall. Then, the scarring tissue is extracted by looking for brighter voxels inside the wall.

Use Cases

This module is specifically designed for the segmentation of the left atrial scars from MR images.


Tutorials

  1. Load source image

  2. Load endocardium label image. Pulmonary veins need to be excluded from this label image

  3. Select Segmentation->Left Atrial Segmentation module
  4. Choose the source and label image. Create/select an output image.
  5. Press the Apply button
