We consider the use of graph cuts technique to efficiently segment the full tissue volume of the entire heart or important parts of it such as ventricles in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans for different species. With the segmented 3-D volume of the heart, simulations of electrical waves propagating through the tissue can be done. The modeled wave results can then be compared directly to the...
