Steffen Oeltze: Integrated visualization of myocardial perfusion and the hearts anatomy.

Video illustrating the integration of myocardial perfusion and ventricular as well as vascular anatomy of a patient suffering from atherosclerosis. Upper left view: Apical slice of the original perfusion dataset overlaid with the myocardial division according to the 17-segment model. Upper right view: Apical slice of the parameter volume computed for the perfusion parameter Up-slope. Middle left view: Bull's-Eye Plot (BEP) which encodes the parameter Up-slope. Segment 17 is missing since no slice has been acquired covering the apex itself. Lower left view: Time-intensity curves corresponding to the selected BEP segments. Lower Right view: Coronary branch supplying the selected segments. The user is guided through the scene by means of animations instead of being confronted with a prefabricated interaction result.
