The aim of this project is to evaluate a well – established 3D atlas – based segmentation approach when quantifying positron emission tomography (PET) left ventricular (LV) uptake in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Performance will be assessed in every American Heart Association segment, ensuring proper 3D LV orientation with anatomical references.

In collaboration with Vall d'Hebron Hospital
