Purpose: To evaluate the clinical performance of a novel automated left ventricle (LV) segmentation algorithm (LV-METRIC) that involves no geometric assumptions.Materials and Methods: LV-METRIC and manual tracing (MT) were used independently to quantify LV volumes and LVEF (ejection fraction) for 151 consecutive patients who underwent cine-CMR (steady-state free precession). Phase contrast imaging was used to independently measure stroke volume.Results: LV-METRIC was successful in all cases. Mean LVEF was within 1 point of MT (Delta 0.6 +/- 2.3%. P < 0.05), with smaller differences among patients with (0.5 +/- 2.5%) versus those without (0.9 +/- 2.3%; P = 0.01) advanced systolic dysfunction (LVEF
