Claim One:
1. A method for generating a cardiovascular measurement for individual identification, wherein the method comprises: acquiring multiple imaging modality signals pertaining to cardiac anatomy of a given individual, wherein the cardiac anatomy comprises a left ventricle of a heart; extracting multiple quantified representation of cardiac anatomy from the a multiple imaging modality signals, wherein the multiple quantified representations comprise (i) a quantified representation of an endocardial lumen of the left ventricle, (ii) a quantified representation of a myocardial wall of the left ventricle, and (iii) a quantified representation of papillary muscles of the left ventricle; determining a pattern of cardiac anatomy associated with the given individual based on (i) the quantified representation of the endocardial lumen of the left ventricle, (ii) the quantified representation of the myocardial wall of the left ventricle, and (iii) the quantified representation of the papillary muscles of the left ventricle; defining at least one comparison technique between the pattern of cardiac anatomy associated with the given individual and at least one additional pattern of cardiac anatomy; and identifying the given individual based on the at least one defined comparison technique.
