After the images have been brought into standard short axis orientation the next task is the definition of the myocardium model by VOIs. Again, there is an automatic procedure. However, the contours found by the procedure might require some adjustments, and sometimes fully manual processing will be required.
The next sections describe how the VOIs can be created within PCARD. For general information about VOI creation and manipulation please refer also to the Summary of VOI Capabilities in PMOD section.
