A method for quantifying cardiac desynchrony of the right and left
ventricles includes obtaining cardiac acquisition data from a medical
imaging system, and determining a movement profile from the cardiac
acquisition data. The movement profile is directed toward identifying at
least one of a time-based contraction parameter for a region of the left
ventricle (LV), and a displacement-based contraction parameter for a
region of the LV. The determined movement profile is visually displayed
by generating a 3D model therefrom.
