Cardiac diseases historically result in the highest rate of human death. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is considered to be the golden standard used in the diagnosis and prognosis of these diseases. The aim of this project is to use CMR images to assess the end-systolic and end-diastolic volumes in an automated way. These are the basal figures that every cardiac global function parameter can be deduced from, and will help cardiologists to save more people’s lives.
