LV mass computed from commonly used bi-plane and tri-plane ellipsoidal models can deviate significantly when compared to LV mass estimated from a stack of short axis balanced SSFP cine MR images. The results from the study show that by using different geometric assumptions for the shape of the endocardium (Cut-cone+cone) and epicardium (Cut-cone+parabola), it is possible to estimate LV mass with just two projections that is comparable to that obtained from a full stack of short axis slices.
