Claims
- 1. In a computer system including a display device for displaying information, a method for presenting cardiac information, said method comprising:
- storing individual frames of a reconstructed volume in a single data structure including a short-axis dataset of frames, a vertical long axis dataset of frames, and a horizontal long axis dataset of frames;
- causing a plurality of frames of said short-axis dataset, said vertical long axis dataset and said horizontal long axis dataset to be displayed by said display device for each of at least two individual gated segments of a cardiac cycle;
- causing a user positionable representation to be displayed by said display device in one frame of one of said datasets; and
- updating frames of the other two of said datasets based on a repositioning of said representation.
- 2. A method as described in claim 1, wherein said updating frames of the other two of said datasets comprises updating frames of the other two of said datasets based on a repositioning by a user of said representation.
- 3. A method as described in claim 1, wherein said representation comprises a set of user positionable crosshairs.
- 4. A method as described in claim 1, wherein said updating frames of the other two of said datasets based on a repositioning of said representation comprises changing the frames of said other two of said data sets that are displayed by the display device based on said repositioning of said representation.
- 5. A method as described in claim 1, wherein said at least two individual gated segments of said cardiac cycle comprise an end-systole segment and an end-diastole segment of said cardiac cycle.
