Abstract :
An outline of 3-D image reconstruction techniques for the left ventricle and the whole heart from MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) data is discussed. A method is proposed to reconstruct 3-D shapes of each part of the heart, i.e. left ventricle, left atrium, right ventricle, right atrium, aorta and pulmonary artery, in a voxel space using the cross-sectional images obtained by gated MRI of the heart on the transverse, coronal, and sagittal planes. The heart composed by putting together these six parts is superimposed on the original cross-sectional images
