B-mode image demonstrating the left ventricle segmentation on a clinical short axes image into six segments as scored for wall motion scores (a). Similar segmentation performed on the FEA simulated image of the canine heart (b). The segments based on the ASE criteria are as follows: (1) anteroseptal, (2) anterior, (3) anterolateral, (4) inferolateral, (5) inferior, and (6) inferoseptal.
