How to perform left and right ventricular function quantification in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with a simple mouse click

Ventricular function is a primary indicator for the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of many cardiovascular diseases. Cardiac cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with steady state free precession (SSFP) sequences is regarded to be the standard of reference for the assessment of ventricular function. However, manual segmentation of MRI data is a time consuming process and also suffers from inter/intra-observer variability. This justifies the development of more automated segmentation methods to reduce the amount of time and effort that an experienced operator must spend on this process, and to make such methods practical.
