No algorithm has been deemed better than others for segmenting enhancement in late gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging of atrial fibrillation (AF). We propose a robust -though simple- method to classify enhanced tissue in AF patients studied at out center. We demonstrate the technique's potential for utility in clinical AF studies, and compare it with other related approaches.
