Figure 2.

Registration process. a) shows the geometry of the LV in the coordinate system prior to the registration. b) shows the same geometry after the registration process. The point of origin is placed in the mitral valve center. In the case the affine transformation matrix consists of a translation component and a very small rotation component. The colored regions show the 16 endocardiac LV segments according to Tomtec LV Analysis.
