Claim One:
1. A method for cardiac imaging, comprising: reconstructing functional imaging data of a subject into a diagnostic image including at least a myocardium; determining the pose and geometry of the myocardium in the diagnostic image, wherein determining the pose and geometry of the myocardium includes: segmenting a left ventricle in the diagnostic image, generating a left ventricle myocardial mask, computing a center of mass of the left ventricle in the diagnostic image, skeletonizing the left ventricle myocardial mask to generate a myocardial skeleton, pruning the myocardial skeleton, estimating diagnostic parameters of the myocardium based on the determined pose and geometry; displaying at least a portion of the diagnostic image including the myocardium on a display device.
