Table 2.
Parameter | Value | Discussion |
---|---|---|
Middle slice (ms) | No influence on the algorithm | |
| ||
Jump factor (J) | J > 2.5 | (1) Less than 2.5: LV volume will be underestimated. (2) More than 2.5: LV volume will be overestimated. |
| ||
Mass center displacement (D) | D > 6 pixels | (1) Less than 6: the slice with close myocardium is defined as the basal slice, which will result in the underestimated LV volume. (2) More than 6: the basal slice without close myocardium cannot be detected, which will result in the overestimated LV volume. |
Note: “J” and “D” are empirically parameters upon 30 deidentified cases.
