Figure 8 Effects of Exclusion of Endocardial Trabeculae From the LV Cavity

(Left) Example of a short-axis CMR slice extracted from an interpolated 3D CMR dataset with endocardial surface traced to include trabeculae (A) and, in a separate analysis, to exclude them (B). This experiment was performed with data obtained in 19 patients. (Right) Results of linear regression and Bland-Altman analyses are shown (C: EDV, D: ESV) for both sets of CMR reference values, those obtained with (yellow) and without (orange) the trabeculae as part of the LV cavity (see text for details). Abbreviations as in Figures 1, 2, and 5.
