Claim One:
1. A control unit for a system for displaying looped images, the control unit configured to be coupled with a medical imaging system, the control unit comprising: a computer-readable memory configured to store instructions; and a processor configured to execute the instructions to: associate each of a plurality of two dimensional images of an organ acquired from the medical imaging system with a respective activity state of the organ; assess whether one or more of the plurality of two dimensional images is representative of a normal configuration of the organ at the respective activity state; and output, for a display, a set of looped images that comprises each of the plurality of two-dimensional images that is representative of the normal configuration of the organ at the respective activity state and excludes each of the plurality of two-dimensional images that is not representative of the normal configuration of the organ at the respective activity state; wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to further: associate each of the plurality of two dimensional images with a respective organ timing signal portion; assess one or more of the respective organ timing signal portions to assess whether one or more of the plurality of two dimensional images is representative of the normal configuration of the organ at the respective activity state; determine a respective cycle index for each organ timing signal portion; and assess one or more of the respective cycle indices to assess whether one or more of the plurality of two dimensional images is representative of the normal configuration of the organ at the respective activity state.
