SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING BULLSEYE PLOTS

A bullseyes plot may be generated based on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases. Described herein are systems, methods, and instrumentalities associated with bullseyes plot generation. A plurality of myocardial segments may be obtained for constructing the bullseye plot based on landmark points detected in short-axis and long-axis magnetic resonance (MR) slices of the heart and by arranging the short-axis MR slices sequentially in accordance with the order in which the slices are generated during the CMRI. The sequential order of the short-axis MR slices may be determined utilizing projected locations of the short-axis MR slices on a long-axis MR slice and respective distances of the projected locations to a landmark point of the long-axis MR slice. The myocardium and/or landmark points may be identified in the short-axis and/or long-axis MR slices using artificial neural networks.
