Auto‐Threshold quantification of late gadolinium enhancement in patients with acute heart disease

To assess the Otsu‐Auto‐Threshold (OAT) for accuracy and reproducibility for sizing irreversible injury in late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) images of patients with acute heart disease. The OAT method automatically identifies high signal intensity areas using a cutoff derived from the signal intensity histogram and therefore is user‐independent.
