In this paper we present a method to quantify the cardiac blood irrigation through echographic images for heart disease diagnosis. This method relies on the registration of acquired images with a heart model in order to provide a robust segmentation of the cardiac walls, giving the doctor precise and non subjective anatomical information, as well as to advance towards future works oriented to automatic diagnosis.
