Quantitation of left ventricular (LV) asynchrony is relevant in clinical cardiology, as well as in evaluating LV mechanical properties. Radionuclide angiography (RA) phase images are extensively used, and asynchrony is usually assessed by computing the standard deviation of phase angle distribution...
