1.DB Load page: This page is only available when using PMOD databases.

The on the Rest and Stress pages, the workflow consists of 3 steps:
1.INPUT: Loading of the cine images and cropping of the heart volume.
2.SEGMENTS: Segmentation of the endo- and epicardial boundaries and division into the LV sectors.
3.FUNCTION: Analysis of the LV volume during the heartbeat and calculation of the functional measures.
