Automatic extraction of left-atrial volume from a clinical perfusion 15O-water PET

Conclusions:Left-atrial volumes can be obtained fully automatically from dynamic 15O-water PET with high accuracy and reproducibility. This method does not require any additional scans and can routinely be added to standard MBF protocols. Finally, increased LAV is associated with cardiomyopathy rather than coronary artery disease.
