 DISHA: Determination of Ideal Short-axis of
the Heart Automatically
Pose determination of 3D objects is a topic of active research, particularly in
the area of computer vision. The determination of the pose or orientation of a
3D object in a 3D dataset can be viewed as a two-fold problem : 1) The
determination of the orientation of the object; and 2) the visualization of the
object along with the determined orientation of the object. An attempt has been
made to compute and visualize the orientation of left ventricle (LV) of the
heart from SPECT data. A semi-automatic technique to first filter the acquired
SPECT data and then compute the 3D orientation of the LV is under development.
Volume visualization techniques have been employed to better visualize and
comprehend the structure and orientation of the LV.
