Claim One:
1. A method for displaying medical image data, comprising: receiving medical image data including a myocardium; automatically segmenting an endocardial contour from the received medical image data; determining a center of mass of the automatically segmented endocardial contour; defining a plurality of equiangular projections that begin from the center of mass and project outwardly and cross the endocardial contour; defining a plurality of normal projections that correspond to the plurality of equiangular projections, wherein each normal projection begins from an end of a corresponding equiangular projection and extends for a predetermined length, crossing the endocardial contour at a right angle; and displaying dynamics of the myocardium along each normal projection as a function of time, wherein each of the above steps are performed by one or more image processing devices.
