             abstract = "We present a new approach for creating polar maps of 
                         three-dimensional cardiac perfusion images. A polar map is a 
                         two-dimensional plot of the reconstructed volume from the SPECT 
                         study, which provides concise information on myocardial perfusion 
                         in a single easily interpretable image. Unlike the traditional 
                         approaches, our algorithm is automatic. It relies on image 
                         registration techniques to align the patient exam to a previously 
                         computed model, avoiding the need of manual intervention by a 
                         specialist. Preliminary analysis made by a specialist in nuclear 
                         medicine indicates that this new approach is comparable to the 
                         gold standard algorithm.",
