Segmentation of the heart wall: Step A, maximum intensity z-projection of row data (ATR: atrium; VNT: ventricle; AVC: atrioventricular canal); Step B: closing of small holes by morphological operations (dilation and erosion); Step C: image binarization by thresholding; Step D: edge detection (edges are shown overlapped with the original image).
